PGM 808 : "ATLAS DEI"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : Robert Rich's music for the art film ATLAS DEI
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 7-13-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Ambient composer ROBERT RICH is one of the cardinal
artists of Hearts of Space. We started working with him in the
1970s when we were still a local radio program and he had yet
to release his first cassette recording. (You do remember
cassettes, don't you?)

From his early experiments with home-made analog synthesizers
and extended improvisations to his mature masterpieces,
Robert Rich and Hearts of Space have grown and developed
together for over 30 years.

We did a retrospective program of Robert's music at the turn of
the millennium, covering his recordings from the 1980's to 2000.
Since then, not only has he been extraordinarily productive, in
2007 he released his own compilation of his previous work.
Rather than a simple retrospective selection, he composed new
pieces, modified or remixed others, and tied the music to a
remarkable DVD art film in surround sound called ATLAS DEI,
produced with digital artist and filmmaker DANIEL COLVIN.

The film is described as "a lyrical journey through time and
space into the mystery of our cosmos...weaving the strands
of science, myth, and poetic vision into an eloquent tapestry
of the human enigma."

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, Robert Rich's
elegant electro-acoustic music from ATLAS DEI.

PGM 671R : "TRANS-TRIBAL EXPRESS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : ambient electronics meet tribal rhythms
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 7-06-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: What's in a "tribe"? The word returned to popular culture
in the 1960s and has been in and out of fashion ever since.
Of course, in most of the so-called "third world," it's not fashion:
tribal societies are still the day-to-day reality, and musicians
from sophisticated Western countries have been finding
inspiration and vitality in tribal music for hundreds of years.
It makes sense: all of us have roots in tribal culture somewhere.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a report from the
intersection of ambient electronics and tribal rhythms called
TRANS-TRIBAL EXPRESS.

PGM 807 : "GOSSAMER"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : refined textural-melodic spacemusic
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 6-29-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Texture in music is not something you hear much about.
Yet it's fundamental to the sound of music and the musical
experience, a result of instrumental combinations, rhythms,
timbres, harmonies, and how you put it all together. Today
we have almost total control of musical texture in the studio.

The much-reviled new age genre is full of artists and composers
who create amazingly sophisticated textures in their recordings.
Like most things, it's worth taking the time to find the good ones —
their refined sounds can take you emotional places worth going.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space we'll try to do just that,
on a textural-melodic journey called GOSSAMER.

PGM 806 : "INDIAN SUMMER SOLSTICE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a warm weather raga
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 6-22-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The buttery softness of the bansuri flute is a good
indication that we're headed into the dreamy, sensual world
of Indian music this time. When it comes to quietly ecstatic,
subtly skillful music making, Indian classical music is hard to
beat; these days it's often enhanced by electronics and a bit
of studio magic. And here at the official beginning of summer,
it's just the thing to get you in tunE and flowing...with
the season.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : more cool sounds from hot places
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 6-15-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: It's hard to convey how revolutionary this music sounded
when it was released in 1980 — the product of maverick avant-
garde trumpeter JON HASSELL. (Yes, that unearthly lead
instrument is a trumpet, alchemically transformed beyond
recognition by HASSELL and producer BRIAN ENO.)

The album kicked off a projected series called "Fourth World"
music — a fusion of Third World ethnic sources and sophisticated
electronics. HASSELL pronounced the genre "classical by structure,
popular by textural appeal, global-minded."

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we track the evolution
of the Fourth-World vision to a new generation, on a program
called POSSIBLE MUSICS.

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.

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.

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.

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.

PGM 802 "ARGUABLY...POST-AMBIENT"

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
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 801 : "DEEKSHA"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
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.

PGM NOTE : the ambient sound in popular music
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
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.
