PGM 805 : "EQUILIBRIUM"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a Middle Eastern electrofusion journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 6-08-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: That's SMADJ...out of Tunisia by way of Paris.
He brings together the venerable oud and 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 traditions have a global
audience, while DJ's sample beats and create new 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 sites like MySpace.com. The good
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 transmission of Hearts of Space, a journey in the
Middle Eastern electronic fusion zone called EQUILIBRIUM.

PGM 804 : "DOWNTEMPO TO SPACE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : from electrogrooves to electrospheres
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 6-01-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: In these hypercreative high tech times we live in,
new styles of electronic music have the half life of rare
atomic particles. Yet while the sounds, the styles and the
artists change, the goal of the music stays relatively
constant. Whether it's all about stirring you up...cooling
you out...or creating a soundscape to work, dream or
discover in — each generation finds its own way to do it.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we dance off
and float home, on an electronic journey from DOWNTEMPO...
TO SPACE.

PGM 803 : "WEST BY SOUTHWEST"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : an ambient steel guitar journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 5-25-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The American Southwest is a mythic landscape,
hewn for eons by nature...and centuries by man. It's home to
vast desert spaces, endless mesas and monumental canyons —
and several distinctive American musical genres, among them
a spacious, languid, yearning sound perfectly captured by the
slide and pedal steel guitar. It's a sound we like to return to
in the warm summer months.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we immerse ourselves
in the subtle, chiming, floating twang of the steel guitar and
the dobro...on a program called WEST BY SOUTHWEST.

PGM 736R : "HYDROLOGY"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a journey on the water planet
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 5-18-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Here's a show about water. Salt or fresh, almost 3/4
of our planet is covered by it, and it makes up to 65% of our
bodies. It's our most important nutrient — we simply can't live
without it. No wonder it's a common theme for ambient music.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, music that celebrates
water, on a program called HYDROLOGY. From the primordial
ocean, the source of all life — we'll navigate rivers and streams,
lakes and marshes — tracing the water cycle.

(click on program title above for 30 second MP3 promo clip)
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM 802 : "ARGUABLY POST-AMBIENT"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : new sounds from the international electronic soundscape
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 5-11-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Well, spacefan, this time it's a fresh collection of
psycho-acoustic experiments from Norway, Switzerland,
England, California, Ohio, Vermont, and not least: mighty little
Rhode Island. The textures are mostly electronic, but acoustic
sounds still play a big role. In many cases, you really can't
say what the sound _is_ ...and that's the point. We're living in
an inter-national, supra-cultural, technically-enhanced music
matrix, and the results are diverse beyond imagination.

Genre names don't last long in this creative environment.
A few years ago, we'd have called this show electronica or
ambient, but today some of the artists would object if we did.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we'll look for a
congenial harbor amongst the creative flux. Let's call it
ARGUABLY POST-AMBIENT.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : Indian devotional chants and contemplative instrumentals
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 5-04-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Deeksha...is a Sanskrit word for the "transfer of divine
energy." In the West, we might call it a blessing, a transmission,
or a spiritual healing. Whatever you call it, in music you know it
when you hear it, and there's a venerable genre of Indian music
dedicated to it that's been embraced and extended by Western
musicians.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we return to the ardent,
timeless, devotional sound of Indian music on a program called...
DEEKSHA.

FEED DATE : 4-27-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Every 100 shows we take a retrospective look at some
aspect of the musical world of Hearts of Space. Over the last
20-plus years, we've covered everything from the Pachelbel
"Canon" to the roots of electronic space and ambient music —
from the German electronic music of the 1970s to the inter-
section of spacemusic and rock — with a stop along the way
for a tribute to JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH.

On this 800th edition of Hearts of Space, a report on the
ongoing diffusion of the space and ambient sound into the
world of popular music.

PGM 723R : "AFFINITY"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : the natural harmony of piano and cello
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 4-20-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Some combinations exhibit a natural harmony.
They go together, as they say, like bread and butter, milk
and cookies, and the ever popular peaches and cream.
And it's not just dairy products either — in music we have
the venerable rattle and drum, the harp and flute, guitar
and bass, and our subject today: piano and cello.

The rhythmic clarity and endless harmonic potential of the
piano, combined with the soulful, singing lines of the cello,
has inspired some of our greatest composers. And because
cellists often play piano as well, today some of them are playing
both instruments on their recordings. On this transmission of
Hearts of Space we summon the muse of complementarity,
on a program called AFFINITY.

PGM 799 : "MESSENGERS OF PEACE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : music from the Tibetan diaspora
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 4-13-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The occupation of the remote Himalayan country of Tibet
by China in 1949 forced an ancient non-violent Buddhist culture
to escape to northern India and Nepal, and from there, to spread
around the world. In this way, the folk and religious music
and spirituality of Tibet came to the west, along with musicians,
artists, monks and teachers like the Dalai Lama.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we focus on the
gentle sounds of Tibetan folk music...on a program called
MESSENGERS OF PEACE.

PGM 764R : "DEEP GROOVE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : downtempo, chill and ambient electronica
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 4-06-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Well, we didn't plan it that way, but this show wound
up almost all English music. And why not? England remains a
breeding ground and innovator for all kinds of new genres.
This time, a report from the intersection of downtempo, chill,
and deep ambient — a place where digital beats and lyrical
melodies float over ambient soundscapes.

English musician and producer BRIAN ENO, who more or less
invented the term "ambient," once observed that certain kinds
of electronic music could be heard as "fast music with slow
underpinnings...or slow music with fast ornamentation."

However YOU hear it, on this transmission of HEARTS of
SPACE, it's a downtempo journey called DEEP GROOVE.
'Groove' because it moves with a hypnotic rhythm;
'Deep' because it takes you somewhere worth going.

PGM NOTE : sacred music for the Easter season
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 3-30-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: At the heart of the Christian Easter celebration is the
story of the crucifixion, resurrection and ascension of Christ.
It is by any measure one of the greatest inspirations of all
time for sacred music, extending from gruesome...to magical...
to supernatural — a journey from the physical to the
metaphysical, from the blood and treachery of earth...
to the eternal dimension of heaven.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, an hour of sacred
music for the Easter season called TRANSFORMATION.

INTRO: When our fearless leaders here on earth are making a
mess of things, the intelligent species look for more congenial
spaces. That's been happening for centuries. But with global
climate changes coming, _this time_ you might have to leave
the planet. Luckily, we have a group of spacemusic composers

the sound of distant planets, wheeling galaxies and infinite
starfields...on a cosmic journey called WORLDS BEYOND.

INTRO: Every spring we look forward to the week before Saint
Patrick's Day. For the Irish, it's a time of cultural celebration;
for us, it's another opportunity to saturate ourselves with the
joyful rhythms, mournful strains and heartfelt melodies of
Celtic music. With a repertoire enriched over the centuries by
some of the finest musicians on earth, Celtic music renews itself
in every generation by connecting us to essential, deeply
human emotions.
On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, another program from
longtime guest producer ELLEN HOLMES: a journey in the
contemporary Celtic soundscape called THE NEVER ENDING ROAD.

PGM 760R : "UNDERSCORE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : exploring the world of ambient film music
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 3-09-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Here's the thing about soundtrack albums: no matter how
good the music in the film is, you just never know how good the
CD will be.

Some of the best composers and studio musicians in
the world work on these projects. No expense is spared to record
the music and mix it into the film. Then, the soundtrack CD is
thrown together in a few days from dozens of short "cues," padded
with "incidental music" or songs from hot young bands, and rushed
to market in time for the film's opening. As listening experiences
go, they're totally unpredictable. You just never know.

Yet the original function of film music has a lot in common
with ambient and space music — to color the environment, evoke
emotion, and underscore the action on the screen, just like
ambient does to the action in your room.
