slow music for fast times

FINAL POST FOR THIS BLOG

2009-05-01T16:00:00.000-07:00

We've been posting our playlists here since September 2005. A lot of water has passed under the Internet bridge since then, and it's time to consolidate our feeds under one roof at our own web site. We'll be installing software to do that shortly and you'll find all our feeds nicely grouped at HOS.com.

In the meantime please use our HOS News feed, currently hosted by Typepad:

http://heartsofspace.typepad.com/news/atom.xml

There is a category of posts for New Programs which provides access to each week's playlist via links to the correct playlist pages on HOS.com, as well as a podcast feed of our weekly 30 second promos:

http://www.hos.com/rss/HOS_promo_podcast.xml

The advantage of viewing the playlists on-site is that you also see full color graphics of the album covers, plus all the embedded links to retail sources, artist and record label sites, and additional user services like a handy PRINT command, which reformats the playlist for printing direct from any browser.

Ultimately our direct feeds will contain these elements, and all of this will appear in any standard feed reader as well.

The HOS News feed also contains up to date information about our primary web services and our streaming archive. If you haven't visited our site in a while, please stop by. In February 2009 we introduced a very cool custom Flash player with improved graphics, a heads-up metadata display, support for unlimited personal playlists, and much improved sound quality.

If you have any comments, please write to us at help@hos.com.

PGM 873 "MORE AMBIENT COOL"

PGM 873 : "MORE AMBIENT COOL"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a journey in the lazy, hazy Fourth World soundscape
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 4-24-09
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: You're listening to the mysterious "Fourth World" music
of trumpeter/composer JON HASSELL: an apparition arising out of
the hazy cross-cultural soundscape between classical Indian vocal
music, electronics, and cool jazz. It's a sound that's been widely
influential in contemporary music for over 25 years — a popular
atmospheric hybrid that defies category...by design.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we invoke the spirits
of departed masters like cool jazz trumpeter MILES DAVIS, Indian
vocalist PANDIT PRAN NATH and electronics pioneer KARLHEINZ
STOCKHAUSEN...on a journey called MORE AMBIENT COOL.

PGM 805R : "EQUILIBRIUM"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : entrancing Middle Eastern electronic fusion
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 4-17-09
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: That's SMADJ...out of Tunisia by way of Paris. He brings
together the venerable oud and the sultry rhythms of North Africa
with the latest electronic sounds.

Today the mediasphere is alive with a new kind of "world music."
The old masters of the great ethnic music traditions have a
global audience, while DJ's sample beats and create new world
mixes for the intelligent dance floor. Almost any musician can
have their own studio and release their music worldwide online —
with photos, video and text—on giant sites like MySpace
and Facebook.

The successful ones travel, perform, and build worldwide networks
of collaborators and audience. The Internet ties it all together.
For these musicians, even in the midst of all the political
struggles of today — it really is a new world.

On this 25th Anniversary retrospective edition of Hearts of Space,
a journey in the Middle Eastern electronic fusion zone called
EQUILIBRIUM.

PGM 872 "AMAZING GRACE"

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM 872 : "AMAZING GRACE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : 15 variations of the classic hymn for Easter
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 4-10-09
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: If popularity is the measure, the English hymn
"Amazing Grace" must be one of the best loved songs in existence.
We found over 6400 versions of it on just one online music site!

It's been recorded by everyone from Elvis to The 3 Tenors to the
Cherokee National Youth Choir, in every style you could imagine—
and a lot more you couldn't, including Maori, Reggae, Heavy Metal,
and Doo Wop.

The hymn comes with a good story. The words were written
around 1772 by an English slave trader turned Christian preacher
named JOHN NEWTON. The pentatonic melody first appeared in
hymn books around 1829 and was called "New Britain." It's thought
to be Scottish or Irish originally, which accounts for the many
versions featuring the bagpipes.

On this Easter week transmission of Hearts of Space, we spread
the love with a program conceived by longtime guest producer
ELLEN HOLMES and devoted entirely to our most popular hymn...
AMAZING GRACE.

PGM 871 : "SAKURA"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : an East Asian journey for a blossoming spring
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 4-03-09
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Many aspects of traditional Japanese culture originated
in China. The Japanese spring custom of cherry blossom viewing
or hanami goes back to the 8th century, but it was inspired by
the Chinese aristocracy.

Today the progress of the 'sakura' or cherry blossom wave
as it moves north across Japan is a regular feature of the
spring weather reports. You gotta love a country that has
a cherry blossom report.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we think of cherry
blossoms while we journey in the East Asian soundscape
on a program called SAKURA.

INTRO: The transition between winter and spring is never
predictable. After a time of darkness and confinement, we long
for light, air and freedom. We seek change: space and openness,
movement and flow.

Filled with new purpose, we clean out old structures. In uncertain
times, we shine the light into dark places, and prepare for the
challenges ahead. Transparency is the new watchword, the key
to trust.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a collection of freshly
grown and gracefully aged electronica for the season, on a
program called TRANSPARENT SPRING.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a trans-seasonal journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 3-20-09
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The progression of the seasons is our context, a basic
fact of life. Yet there's hardly anything more powerful, pervasive
or profound.

From the frigid, binding grip of winter, we emerge in spring
into a world stirring with change and new life. It begins with
subtle sounds: the melting of ice, the rustle of the forest,
the singing of birds, the trickle of streams. Slowly, inexorably,
the natural world awakes; the light grows brighter,and we
begin to move.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a trans-seasonal
journey called WINTER INTO SPRING.

PGM 657R : "BETWEEN THE WORLDS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : celebrating the timeless Celtic ballad
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 3-13-09
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The buttery smooth sound of the Irish "low whistle."
When you consider we're coming up on the Spring Equinox, it's
easy to guess where we're headed this week. Yes, rain or shine,
war or peace, boom or bust, it's the season of rebirth and time
for our yearly celebration of the slow, deep side of Celtic music
— the timeless Celtic ballad. Quiet but oh-so-powerful, it captures
the reflective emotions: love, loss, sadness, nostalgia...and peace.

On this 25th Anniversary retrospective edition of Hearts of Space,
a classic journey in the Celtic soundscape, on a program called
BETWEEN THE WORLDS.

In the waning days of the 20th century, ancient music from
Ireland, Scotland, and Brittany leapt beyond its acoustic roots and
evolved a new electro/acoustic style, influenced by pop, ambient,
and country music and modern production values. But whatever
the stylistic innovations, the heart and soul of Celtic music is
always melody.

PGM 868 : "INTO THE STORM"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : spacemusic for turbulent times
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 3-06-09
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: In good times, life moves swiftly, with little time for
reflection. Warnings of impending disaster may go unheeded —
until it's too late. Confusion and chaos rule the day.

In stormy times, the wise remain calm, even when the world
around them is in turmoil. Turbulence may destroy structures
that lack a firm foundation, but this is necessary to build
stronger ones. In nature and society, excess must be corrected.
Destruction...is also a path to renewal.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, an electro-ambient
journey for turbulent times called INTO THE STORM.

PGM NOTE : banishing the winter blues with warmth and soul
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 2-27-09
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Marooned in the depths of darkness, battered by storms,
cold and tired, ready for change. Does that sound like a metaphor
for the economy? Maybe it's just the weather. Either way, what we
need this week is a double dip of warmth and soul to chase away
the winter blues.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we banish those indigo,
cerulean and cobalt feelings...with a program called HAVEN.

PGM 866 : "TONES and OVERTONES"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : the ghostly world of harmonic singing
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 2-20-09
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The ancient practice of harmonic overtone singing has
come down through the ages, sometimes as occult knowledge,
sometimes in the mainstream of an exotic culture, sometimes
as avant-garde experimentation — but always possessed of a
quiet secret.

Hidden within the human voice and the resonant cavities of
the body is the ability to produce multiple harmonic tones;
and within this, the possibility of spiritual absorption in a
subtle realm of ethereal sound.

When recirculated on themselves in a reverberant sanctuary,
voices and their overtones take on a psychic power that
approaches magic.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we revisit the
ghostly realm of harmonic singing, on a journey called
TONES and OVERTONES.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a classic spacemusic journey for winter
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 2-13-09
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Winter...blankets the landscape with a leaden, contractive
force, relieved by intense contrasts. Defying the cold and dark,
the primordial hearth casts a soothing glow; the brilliant sun of
day and bright stars of the winter night contrast with the ashen
tones of a natural world in hibernation...while in the winter
soundscape, somber bass drones and dense atmospheres
are relieved by crystalline accents.

On this 25th Anniversary retrospective edition of Hearts of Space,
a classic electronic winter journey called GRAY LIGHT.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : electronica for the waning days of winter
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 2-06-09
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: In the waning days of winter, change comes creeping
across the landscape. The northern latitudes remain frozen
in tones of gray, white and brown. Farther south, the first
glints of spring are still a subtle presence. We float...
in a zone of incremental transition, unmoored and vulnerable.

It's a time of regression and release from winter's static
grip, a time for subtle, slow-moving electronic music — built
on icy tones, images of desaturated vistas, and latent promise.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a transitional
electronic journey for winter called TERRA STATICA.

PGM 864 : "WINTRY BRONZE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : crystalline sounds for bells, gongs & resonant percussion
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 1-30-09
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: In the chilled, crystalline air of winter, the sound of
bells, gongs and resonant percussion instruments takes on an
uncanny appeal. Purity, clarity, and simplicity are the goals;
we yearn for the essence of things.

From Northern and mountain cultures, music for meditation
and healing invests these desires with the subtlety of art,
and offers us deep interior journeys in pure sound.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another program in
our resonant metals series called WINTRY BRONZE. The title
is derived from a poem by WALLACE STEVENS, who observed
"the life that is fluent, even in the wintriest bronze" and wrote
of "the listener, who listens in the snow/ And, nothing himself,
beholds/ Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is."

PGM 863 : "CONSONANCE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : Medieval, Baroque and Now
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 1-23-09
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The formal, pious, monarchical cultures that produced
what we call Medieval and Baroque music seem worlds removed
from the chaotic multicultural intensity of our era.

Yet, whether coming from cathedral or castle, dedicated to
the glory of God or the entertainment of man, whether modal
or harmonic, monophonic or polyphonic, homorhythmic or
contrapuntal — European music from the Middle Ages to the
18th century still speaks eloquently, and carries a message
of faith, civility and grace across the ages.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we revisit some of
the masters of this period — GESUALDO, DOWLAND, HANDEL,
and BACH — on an Early Music, Baroque and contemporary
journey called...CONSONANCE.

the apogee of the yearly cycle of earth and sun, and plunge

into the season of cold and dark.

For our friends in Alaska and the Arctic north, the days

become mere formalities. The distant sun struggles to reach

the horizon, appears briefly, then retreats into darkness.

Water hangs suspended in the blue-gray atmosphere, and we

enter a world of deep, silent spaces, muted by fog and snow.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a journey to the

quiet heart of winter called ABSOLUTE ZERO.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : Nordic winter lullabies for the dark season
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 1-02-09
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The austere folk music of Norway and the Scandinavian
countries has a paradox at its heart: in a land of frigid, Arctic
winters and stark, glacial landscapes, the music overflows with
warmth and beauty. And while the winter days are dark, the
nights are illuminated by the intoxicating spectacle of the
northern lights.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a Nordic winter's journey
called NIGHT LIGHT.

INTRO: The grand and glorious tradition of sacred singing comes
front and center each year during the winter holiday season.
In churches and cathedrals, concert halls and street corners,
we gather to sing sacred hymns and prayers, chase away the
darkness, and affirm our quest for a more perfect world.
This year, we need it more than most.

and traditional sacred music for the holiday season called
DIVINE VOICES 2.

INTRO: As the winter chill creeps into our souls, we return
to one of the oldest and most rewarding human traditions:
the singing of hymns.

With timeless melodies cherished over thousands of years,
songs of praise, prayer and adoration never lose their appeal —
especially during difficult times — and the end of the year
holiday season when, singing together, the human family
renews its commitment to generosity, peace and goodwill
to all.

INTRO: Winter 2008: the weather is freezing...while the economy
is melting. With all the talk of recession, war, terrorism, and
planetary crisis, it's no wonder everyone's a little depressed.
Admit it, spacefan, you're wistful for those carefree days of
escapist entertainment and unlimited resources to squander.

Well, we know we can't go back, but how about an hour of
shiny new electronic waveforms while we focus on fixing things?
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, an hour of ambient
electronica to energize and calm the mind for problem-solving
called RESOLUTION.

PGM NOTE : a darkly ethereal, modern medieval journey for Fall
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-28-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: When the definitive history of 20th century music is
written, there will be a short but intense chapter on the
phenomenon called GOTHIC.

It is in this darkly ethereal environment that atmospheric
electronics, medieval dirges, and high-style romantic pop genres
like Gothic Rock, Dreampop, Darkwave, Goth-Industrial and
Goth-Metal intersect, cross-pollinate, and breed new shades
of crimson roses.

On this edition of Hearts of Space, we explore some of the
sounds and metaphors of this area of ethereal space music
on a program called GOTHICA.

PGM 857 : "DUSK TO DUSK"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : ambient/classical introspections for fall
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-21-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: When musical tradition meets creative innovation,
just about anything can happen. The results can be harmonious
or dissonant, fascinating or boring, exciting or torpid.

These days, you can find experiments of all kinds in the blandly
named "new music" genre. From the deliberate iconoclasm of
descendents of the 20th century Avant-Garde to the stirring pulses
of the minimalists, the heady abstractions of the conceptualists,
or the contemplative explorations of "deep listening" — classical
values are always being stretched and adapted into new forms.

On this late autumn transmission of Hearts of Space, we explore
the intersection of classical form and ambient space, with a
program of introspective journeys called DUSK TO DUSK.

PGM NOTE : descending into the somber tonalities of fall
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-14-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Fall...is the season of descent. Everything is falling:
leaves, of course; the temperature; the amount of daylight; and
frequently the rain. The music of fall is darker, lower, shadowed,
mutable, with glints of gold — perfectly expressed by the complex
timbres of the cello, the oboe, and the piano.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we explore the ambient
tonalities and sombre emotions of the autumn season, on a
program called...SHADOWPLAY.

PGM NOTE : a somber-but-hopeful dark ambient journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-07-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The turbulent days and storm-tossed nights of November
have their own special energy. All too often, it's an extended
tribulation on the long transition to the heart of winter, and
the redemptive light of the holiday season.

It's a time of recognition of things lost, and potentials to come;
melancholy...often painful...but infused with hope. This year the
transition takes on a special meaning, as we confront difficult
times and extraordinary changes.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a somber-but-hopeful
dark ambient journey for Scorpio called TRIBULATION.

PGM 679R : "TRANSMIGRATION"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a deep and cathartic journey for Scorpio
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-31-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Of all the year's transformations, the autumn transit of
the astrological house of SCORPIO is perhaps the most challenging,
for it is during this period that humans must confront the reality
of death and decay.

As the sun withdraws, the natural world withers and dies, and we
enter a gloomy realm attended by superstition, fear and doleful
emotions. These are the dark times...that try our souls.
Yet in these ultimate tribulations, lie the seeds of future growth.

On this 25th Anniversary retrospective edition of Hearts of Space,
a cathartic journey for Scorpio called TRANSMIGRATION.

PGM 855 : "MELOS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : an autumnal excursion for piano and cello
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-24-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: In the pantheon of immortal combinations of musical
instruments, there must be a special temple for the piano and
cello. It's hard to think of another duo that offers more
musical possibilities, or draws more effectively on the
respective strengths of both instruments.

From the piano, we get effortless rhythmic definition, chords,
and harmonies; from the cello, long, singing lines and rich
overtones that stretch melody to the boundaries of expression.
Together, they define a musical landscape of emotional range,
depth, and beauty.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we celebrate the piano
and cello...on an autumnal journey derived from the Byzantine
hymns, traditional folk and sacred Sufi music of Central Asia...
called MELOS.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a Native flute journey across the great western plateau
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-17-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Slow, reverent, in tune and in time with the rhythms of
nature: that's the signature feeling of the Native American flute.
Since its revival at the hands of a new generation of native
musicians in the 1960s, its gentle tones can now be heard on
hundreds of albums and soundtracks. But it seems most resonant
during Indian summer and autumn, when the light dims, and
smoke asettles over the fading tones of the natural world.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a Native flute journey
across the great western plateau...called LOST CANYONS.

PGM 853 : "INFINITE LOOPS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a descending, deflationary journey for fall
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-10-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: In the early 1970s, English guitarist ROBERT FRIPP
of the seminal progressive rock band KING CRIMSON began a
series of experiments with tape delay echo loops that he came
to call "Frippertronics."

Fripp's collaboration with fellow electronic experimentalist
BRIAN ENO yielded two influential albums of treated electric
guitar and synthesizers. NO PUSSYFOOTING (from 1972)
and EVENING STAR (in 1974) defined a new sound:
the infinite spatial guitar.

Whether endlessly looped or indefinitely sustained, Fripp
transformed, expanded and dematerialized the electric guitar
by feeding it back on itself — and created one of the
foundations of today's ambient soundscapes.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we borrow a term
from computer programming, with a descending journey
for a deflationary fall called INFINITE LOOPS.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 10-03-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: As deep as the ocean...as wide as the sea...goes the
popular phrase. At over 70% of our planet, the ocean is not only
the largest, but the most important natural feature on earth;
the source of all life, the engine of the weather — not to
mention an endless supply of metaphors. Musicians have long
been inspired by its vast expanse, its awesome power, its
mysterious depths.

On this 25th Anniversary retrospective edition of Hearts of Space,
a program of romantic spacemusic inspired by the ocean, called
OCEANIC.

PGM 852 : "PARVAZ (Flight)"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : the poetic world of Persian fusion
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 9-26-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Iran was in the news again this week, as its president
gave a theology lecture to members of the United Nations
General Assembly. Iran's nuclear program and involvement
with the conflict in Iraq could hardly be more controversial,
and all the political smoke effectively obscures the work of
Persian artists and musicians working to enrich an artistic
tradition that extends back before recorded history.

Parvaz is the Persian word for flight, and it's a rich metaphor
for a culture that has grown wings outside its homeland.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we fly into the
sublime world of Persian fusion music...on a program called
PARVAZ.

The rise of a fundamentalist Islamic theocracy in Iran in the
1980s had one unintended consequence: it helped to resurrect
Persian classical music, which had been devalued in the era of
Western cultural influences. The cross-cultural process continues
today, underground in Iran, and in Europe and the U.S., where
Persian artists are combining elements from their traditions
with contemporary sounds and instruments from other cultures.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : an end-of-summer acoustic guitar excursion
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 9-19-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Summer might actually seem endless in these globally
warmed days, but eventually even the sun submits to the laws
of orbital geometry, and our northern hemisphere begins to cool
as it tilts away from the sun.

In music, the change of seasons is marked by a slower pace,
a darker mood, and a tinge of melancholy in the harmonies.
With its naturally bittersweet tonality, it's a good time to revisit
the ambient acoustic guitar.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, an end-of-summer,
mostly acoustic guitar journey called AFTERBURN.

PGM NOTE : a retro-future-ambient-lounge journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 9-12-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: You're listening to PAUL HASLINGER's tribute to late
1950s space-age exotica, a genre popularized by creative, eclectic
arrangers like MARTIN DENNY and JUAN-GARCIA ESQUIVEL.

Lovingly revived in the early 1990s under the banner "Space Age
Bachelor Pad Music" or just "Space Age Pop," its influences are
still with us in the quietly expanding genres of Chill, Downtempo,
Ambient Lounge and other variants of laid-back electronic exotica.

The appeal is clear: a nice cold cocktail, some cool beats and
ambient electronics makes a perfectly relaxing space for social-
izing. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a retro-future-
ambient-lounge journey called TIKITRONICA. Turn it up and call
your friends...

synthesizers — on a program called A BOWL OF LIGHT.

PGM 809R : "AFRICAN GENESIS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a journey into the quiet heart of Africa
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 8-29-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The lilting songs of the Baka pygmies of Cameroon have
achieved international fame through the efforts of sympathetic
Western musicians. Just as DNA research has shown that Africa is
the origin point of the human species, in the last 200 years, the
infectious rhythms and harmonies of African music have bred new
styles of western music — originally laying the foundation for
blues, jazz and other forms of popular music, and more recently,
spawning a host of brilliant variations of what we now call
World Music.

While the majority of African music is for dance and celebration,
there's also a more contemplative sound. On this transmission
of Hearts of Space, we journey through the rhythms into the quiet
heart of African music...on a program called AFRICAN GENESIS.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 8-22-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Here in the days of "water cubes" and Olympic size
indoor pools, summer is the time we renew our relationship
with water. In ocean, lake, river and pool, we immerse ourselves
in earth's most precious fluid. And when we do, one of the most
agreeable sensations is one of the simplest: just...floating.

Floating is the goal-less, relaxed, "here and now" side of
swimming. And it's also something we enjoy in space and
ambient music, as we float in oceans and rivers...of sound.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a journey called
THE FLOAT ZONE.

PGM 848 : "READING THE BONES"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a techno-triba-delic journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 8-15-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: It's all so clear in retrospect. The electronic music
revolution of the 1970s empowered artists to explore a new
palette of ethereal sounds and unnatural atmospheres.
In less than 10 years, a new musical language emerged in
Europe, the U.S., and Japan, and spread around the world.
By the 1980s, they looked around...and it was good.

But it didn't take long before a few of these artists realized
that something was missing: the vital, rhythmic foundation
of ethnic and primitive music, famously built into rock from
the African roots of Rhythm & Blues. So just as early 20th
century painters looked to Africa, Polynesia, and other ancient
cultures for vitality and connection to the archaic human
experience — electronic musicians "went tribal."

The moment was marked by STEVE ROACH's famous trip to
the Australian outback and his 1988 album "Dreamtime Return,"
a title that wraps up the idea in two well-chosen words.
But other artists were already moving in this direction, first
crossing cultural barriers and then heading back in time,
to the roots of music and sound itself.

The genre that emerged was called "techno-tribal" —
a psycho-acoustic, trance-ambient music that combined
electronics, atmospherics, ethnic percussion (rainsticks,
rattles, drums), and didgeridoos. The combination possessed
some of the psychedelic powers of its shamanic forbears,
and it lives on today.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : the Andalusian roots of the Spanish guitar
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 7-25-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The evolution of the Spanish guitar, beginning with the
nomadic Arabic lute, through North Africa and into Moorish-era
Spain — is easy to forget. Today the guitar has found its way
into a hundred other genres and musical contexts, from African
to Country to Heavy Metal. Yet there's something that just
sounds natural in the Andalusian roots of the Spanish guitar
and the Mediterranean music that developed from it.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we focus on the
Spanish guitar...on a program called ECHOES OF SPAIN.

worry about these days, good old sunshine and heat still inspire
our bodies to move, explore, and expand, while our minds open up
to new sounds.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we mix up a refreshing
cocktail of summer electronica, world rhythms, cool horns and
trancey vocals, on a program called SUMMERTRONICA 3.

PGM NOTE : electronic spacemusic in the grand tradition
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 7-11-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Now there's a sound that got a lot of people excited
back in 1978: the rich, mysterious, romantic, oh-so-French
electronic music of JEAN MICHEL JARRE, from EQUINOXE.

One of only a handful of electronic musicians to achieve
popular stardom, Jarre continues to perform all over the world.
His free outdoor sound and light concerts in Houston, Paris,
Moscow, China, and a 12-hour spectacular at the Great
Pyramids in Egypt for the Millennium celebration, have set
records as the largest public music events in history,
with audiences of up to 3.5 million.

On this 25th Anniversary retrospective edition of Hearts
of Space, a program of spacemusic in the grand tradition —
intensely emotional music that takes off from the orchestral
tone poem and navigates into uncharted electronic space.

PGM 844 : "AMERICAN CROSSROADS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : music for a time of change
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 7-04-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Every July 4th, we celebrate America's independence with
food, fun, and fireworks. For as long as most of us can remember,
everything that's good about America — our diversity, freedom,
individuality and self-assurance — has been proudly on display.

This year, our celebration is tempered by a growing awareness of
the great challenges we face in national, global and even planetary
affairs. You have to look back to the 1930s to find a comparable
period, but even those challenges seem limited by comparison.

So this year we celebrate the founding of America with the knowledge
that American ideals and the American character are being tested.
If Americans can respond positively to the challenges we face, we
may look back on this period as the time of America's maturity.

American music today reflects the maturing of our melting-pot of
cultural traditions — hymns, folk and popular songs, blues, jazz,
electronica, maverick classical, ethnic rhythms, and immigrant
genres — a complex panorama of musical sources, freely invented
and reinvented. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we listen
for the reflective side of the American soundscape, on a program
called AMERICAN CROSSROADS.

PGM 843 : "STELLAR VISIONS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a cosmic electronic journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 6-27-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The Cosmic Journey school of electronic spacemusic
includes soundtracks for imaginary sci-fi movies, deep-drifting
stellar soundscapes, and spiritual innerspace explorations.

With its tonal flights across the galaxies and vast cosmic dramas,
the genre appeared to be an artifact of the 1980s. Like progressive
rock, it seemed to implode at its peak — a victim, perhaps, of its
own considerable success...and the fact that it takes real
inspiration and talent to do it well.

Artists like CONSTANCE DEMBY, IASOS and MICHAEL STEARNS
in California, JONN SERRIE in Atlanta, VANGELIS and KLAUS
SCHULZE in Europe, TOMITA, STOMU YAMASHTA and KITARO
in Japan, created an ethereal, expansive, cosmic sound that
found kindred spirits in symphonic composers like GUSTAV
HOLST, RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS, ALAN HOVHANESS,
and the monumental sound cathedrals of BACH.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space called STELLAR
VISIONS, we're pleased to report that the genre's still alive,
with new artists and fine new work — at least in California.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 6-13-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Dramatic, darkly emotional, and still exotic to Western ears,
the music of the Middle East continues to fascinate contemporary
musicians.

We're listening to a nicely crafted example of the Biblical epic
genre of movie music by SHELDON MIROWITZ from the soundtrack
for the television production "Columbus and the Age of Discovery."

On this 25th Anniversary retrospective edition of Hearts of Space,
we journey once again through these ancient nomadic soundspaces,
softly wailing melodies, and gently rocking rhythms, on a program
called CARAVAN.
