INTRO: When the sun is high and the sky is the deepest blue,
a space fan's thoughts turn to that matchless vehicle for flight,
the infinite, expanded, atmospheric guitar.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, it's time for another
installment of our longest running series — SPACE GUITARS.
This time we venture out to the edge of the stratosphere and
into the rarefied spaces beyond the sky, on a program called
SPACE GUITARS 8.

PGM 846 : "ECHOES OF SPAIN"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
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.

INTRO: Summer...despite all the great new things we have to
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 347R : "ELECTRONIC DREAMS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
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.

grooves down to a place where percussion turns contemplative
and rhythm turns to pure sound...on a program called

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

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.

INTRO: These days electronic waveforms bubble up from every
corner of the globe like some kind of benign gas. Wherever they
come from, they often share the qualities of flying...or floating.

Flying music is rhythm-powered and moves through space,
heading for worlds beyond; floating music is goal-free —
ethereal, static, and timeless.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another electronic
journey in our flying and floating series called...
FLYING and FLOATING 2.

PGM 840 : "DIVENIRE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : the contemplative minimalism of LUDOVICO EINAUDI
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 5-30-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Italian composer LUDOVICO EINAUDI has enjoyed a long
and very successful career in Europe, marked by a dozen albums,
fifteen film scores, hundreds of concerts and a retrospective
performance at the famous opera house La Scala in Milano.

Einaudi began in the 1970s as a student of Italian avant-garde
composer LUCIANO BERIO at the Conservatory of Milan. He
came to the U.S. on a scholarship in 1982, where he absorbed
the language of classical minimalism, American popular and
ambient music — and laid the foundations for his own warm,
delicate, melodic style.

Like fine Italian food, fashion and design, Einaudi's music has
a humanized opulence and sensual appeal. The elements are
simple and often repetitive; the effect is subtle, contemplative,
satisfying, even profound.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a LUDIVICO EINAUDI
retrospective called DIVENIRE. We have music from across his
career, including selections from STANZE, LE ONDE, I GIORNI,
EDEN ROC, our title album DIVENIRE or "Become," and his lush
soundtrack for the film SOTTO FALSO NOME.

PGM 839 : "PLANET INDIA"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : orbiting the Indian music soundscape
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 5-23-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: As we stream into the 21st century, the rich legacy of
Indian music continues to expand around the world.

Seen as a kind of exotic 'seasoning' when classical masters like
ALI AKBAR KHAN and RAVI SHANKAR came to the west in the
1950s, it survived its trendy status as a psychedelic curiosity in
the 1960s, and has gone on to influence several generations of
western musicians, from avant-garde and electronic, to devotional.

In an age of rapid innovation and stylistic change, Indian music
has proven to be amazingly durable due to its profound insight
into tone and rhythm...and use of the drone — a gravitational
center that keeps some of the world's best musicians in its orbit.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another journey in the
Indian music orbit called PLANET INDIA.

PGM 058R : "THE PEARL"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : classic ambient spacepiano and electronic atmospheres
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 5-16-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: This week we continue our retrospective series
"25 YEARS IN SPACE," celebrating our 25th year of national
broadcasting.

This time it's another classic program from the mid 1980s —
the halcyon days of ambient and electronic music, a decade
when new instruments and recording techniques were breeding
new sounds and even new genres of atmospheric music.

The aim was to slow down, dematerialize, and spatially expand
instrumental music... in the words of the seminal English artist,
theorist and record producer BRIAN ENO, "to create calm,
and a space to think."

Eno not only popularized the term "ambient music" to describe
the style, he created or produced a number of its defining
albums...including our featured album THE PEARL, a 1984
collection of elegant miniatures for expanded piano and
synthesizer by California ambient/avant-garde composer
HAROLD BUDD and BRIAN ENO.

The warm, subtle sheen of THE PEARL...on this edition...
of Hearts of Space.

PGM 592R : "SLIDER"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : slidin' & glidin' — ambient pedal steel guitar
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 5-09-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO : Ah, yes, ladies and gentlemen, the distinctively twangy,
floating sound of the pedal steel guitar — it's as American as
Elvis and cherry pie. This mutant offspring of the Portuguese
acoustic slide guitar, the electric guitar, and the pedal harp
is most famous for its role in Country and Western music. But
as you'll hear, that's just the beginning of what's possible.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we focus on the slide
guitar and the pedal steel...on a program called SLIDER.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a Middle Eastern desert journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 5-02-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Everyone loves a garden, but in the desert countries
gardens take on a whole other level of meaning. Precious and
rare in contrast to the rest of the environment, in ancient Persia
they became nothing less than a symbol of heaven on earth —
a sanctuary for rest, renewal, music and poetry.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we ride off across the
Middle Eastern desert soundscape in search of a GARDEN OF
DELIGHT.
