PGM 066R : "BEYOND THE STARGATES"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a deep, deep space journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 1-25-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: This week we continue our retrospective series "25 YEARS
IN SPACE," celebrating our 25th year of national broadcasting.
We've selected 25 programs that give an overview of the HEARTS of
SPACE series and our style of ambient, space and contemplative
music. We kick off the series with three shows this month, then
one a month after that.

On this program from 1985, a real deep space journey called
BEYOND THE STARGATES. Attention: Spacefans, prepare yourself
for some serious traveling. We set the scene with this rare
invocation by Japanese spacemusic composer STOMU YAMASHTA.
The journey begins with BRIAN ENO's mythic "PROPHECY THEME"
and additional music from the soundtrack of the film DUNE. Then,
we journey onward with the eerie sounds of an aeolian WIND HARP,
and continue with MICHAEL STEARNS' mysterious and powerful music from LYRA: SOUND CONSTELLATION. In the deep spacefields beyond, we drift through distant galaxies with music by TIMOTHY WILLIAM HELLEM and BRIAN ENO. We return from our journeys with spacemusic from Germany by the group CLUSTER, once again with BRIAN ENO.

A journey BEYOND THE STARGATES...on this 25th Anniversary edition of Hearts of Space.

INTRO: This week we continue our retrospective series "25 YEARS
IN SPACE," celebrating our 25th year of national broadcasting.
We've selected 25 programs that give an overview of the HEARTS of
SPACE series and our style of ambient, space and contemplative
music. We kick off the series with three shows this month, then
one a month after that.
On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, a 1984 program called
SEA AND SKY — a tribute to two of the most inspiring environments
on earth, and theme for countless artistic expressions throughout
the ages. SEA AND SKY is also the title of the major work on the
program, one of the first successful integrations of synthesizers
and symphony orchestra...by Japanese composer STOMU YAMASHTA.
A fearless experimenter, YAMASHTA has had a unique and varied
international career as a percussionist and composer of popular
electronic music and scores for film and theater.
We'll also hear images of the sea and sky of ANTARCTICA from a
film soundtrack by VANGELIS, and conclude with early atmospheric
electronic music by STEVE ROACH.

PGM NOTE : a journey across time and space:
celebrating 25 years of syndicated radio broadcasting

FEED DATE : 1-11-08

INTRO: 1983...the year before the infamous 1984. It seems lifetimes
ago, but that was the year that a syndicated music program called
HEARTS of SPACE began to appear on public radio stations around
the U.S. And that means that 2008 is the 25th anniversary of the
national program.
To celebrate our 25th year, we've selected 25 programs that
give an overview of the series and the sound we call ambient,
space and contemplative music. We're going to call the series
"25 YEARS IN SPACE." We'll start with three retrospective shows
this month, and then one a month after that.
Beginnings take on more significance over time, so we'll begin
the series with Program Number One, "FIRST FLIGHT." On our
premiere program, we featured music by a group of artists who
became familiar names in the HEARTS of SPACE pantheon of
composers. It's a journey across 25 years of time...and space.

INTRO: Winter...the chill creeps into your bones, while the
darkness steals into your psyche. For most of us, life slows
a bit and moves indoors, but for those hardy souls with the
metabolism to venture out into the landscape, a world of
subtle colors awaits, with deep vistas of heightened clarity,
or atmospheric effects of fog, rain, and snow.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, a cold day journey
in blue-grey soundscapes called WINTER LIGHT.
