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 854 : "LOST CANYONS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
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.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : oceanic sonics and the romance of the sea
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
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 851 : "AFTERBURN"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
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...

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.

PGM 849 : "THE FLOAT ZONE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : space blues, ambient drones and floating worlds
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
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.

INTRO: Wandering the streets of New Delhi, Cairo, Teheran or
Tangiers these days, you'd probably hear everything from Elvis
to the Ayatollah, but one thing's for sure: the age of exotic
mixtures of music from all over the world is a fact of life.

On this 25th Anniversary retrospective series edition of a
1996 Hearts of Space program called EXOTICA, we continue our
exploration of world spacemusic, with a focus on India.
