PGM 869 : "WINTER INTO 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.

FEED DATE : 1-16-09

INTRO: Cold, clear and quiet, we drift through frozen lakes
and glacial terrain on a journey to the heart of winter.
It's a sound of tiny movements locked within great static
masses, deep drones and crystalline accents, punctuated
by the reverberation of great natural events.

PGM 862 : "ABSOLUTE ZERO"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a journey to the quiet heart of winter
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 1-09-09
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: In the brief days after the winter solstice, we pass 
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 861 : "NIGHT LIGHT"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
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.
