PGM 837 : "AMERICAN PRIMITIVE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : an acoustic excursion in the American soundscape
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 4-25-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The rich, slow, slightly dissonant acoustic guitar
harmonies of WILL ACKERMAN. It's the sound that launched
the Windham Hill label in 1976 and re-energized what
pioneering steel-string guitarist JOHN FAHEY called the
"American primitive guitar."

Primitive because the emphasis was on personal experimentation
and emotional authenticity; American because it drew upon our
complex melting-pot of musical traditions — hymns, folk and
popular songs, blues, jazz, maverick classical, ethnic rhythms
and immigrant genres — a panorama of musical sources,
freely reinvented.

With 30 years perspective, we can see that Ackerman struck a
deep vein in American culture and enriched it with a new level
of quality. His success inspired a generation of acoustic
musicians to trust their instincts, stick to their instruments,
keep it simple...and from the heart.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, another acoustic
excursion in the American soundscape called AMERICAN
PRIMITIVE.

PGM NOTE : gene-splicing world music and electronics
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 4-18-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: This week we continue our 25th Anniversary retrospective
series. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we go back to
the early days of the techno-tribal sound, with a 1988 program
called ANCIENT EVENINGS.

After years of nonstop electrification of popular music, the 1980s
saw a turn toward so-called "world music" from ethnic, traditional
and even aboriginal cultures. World music fusions by popular artists
like PAUL SIMON on GRACELAND and PETER GABRIEL on his solo
albums "MELT" and SECURITY inspired spacemusic composers to
ground the ethereal sound of electronic instruments by combining
them with earthy rhythms, trance percussion and ritual sounds.

This program featured English composer GARRY HUGHES' second
solo album ANCIENT EVENINGS, and STEVE ROACH's epic double
album inspired by the ancient aboriginal soundscape of Australia,
DREAMTIME RETURN — plus music by world frame drum per-
cussionist GLEN VELEZ from SEVEN HEAVEN, by GRATEFUL DEAD
drummer and ethno-musicologist MICKEY HART from DAFOS,
and by spacemusic composers KEVIN BRAHENY and STEVE ROACH
from WESTERN SPACES.

In the mythology of the Aborigines, the "dreamtime" was a
prehistoric era of continuous paradise. Documentary filmmaker
DAVID STAHL met STEVE ROACH while working on a film about
aboriginal rock paintings called ART OF THE DREAMTIME.
David Stahl writes:

"The ancient magic the initiated knew in the bush may already
be lost, yet a different magic, a universal subconscious longing
for a Dreamtime Return is firmly planted today in the mind of
modern man and in his heart."

These artists are all exploring a deeper, older sense of time and
space, which we can share.

PGM NOTE : a floating journey for a time of transition
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 4-11-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Floating through the long transition between winter and
spring...in times of uncertainty, we hold back, restrain action,
and wait. Patience and experience help us endure the time.
We relax, observe the signs, quietly mark the changes,
remain ready...for what comes next.

In music, a suspension is an extended tone connecting one chord
with the following chord, often marked by a temporary dissonance.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a floating journey for
a time of transition and temporary dissonance called SUSPENSION.

PGM 835 : "WUSHU"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : Far East contemplative sounds from China and Japan
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 4-04-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: This week we find inspiration in a very strange place for
Hearts of Space: the world of martial arts film soundtracks.

How martial arts and contemplative music relate...requires a bit
of explanation. Chinese words are made of shorter words put
together. The normal translation of the Chinese word "wu" is
fighting or military, while "shu" is art. Wushu, therefore, means
"the art of fighting" or martial arts.

But there's a more philosophical translation, where "wu" is not
"fighting" but "to stop fighting," and "shu" means "technique."
So traditional Chinese wushu is about the technique of stopping
or averting conflict. According to film director RONNY YU, "the
better you are at wushu, the better peacemaker you are." Now
there's a message that's relevant today.

So if the most skillful form of conflict leads to peace, then the
most effective martial arts music should exhibit calm, balance,
and serenity. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, a journey
in the world of Far East contemplative sound called WUSHU.

PGM 834 : "SEASON OF HOPE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a new age taste of spring
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 3-28-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Way back in 1986, the Recording Academy in its wisdom
decided to give an official name and a Grammy award to a popular
new sound in instrumental music. Unfortunately, they chose the
name "New Age" music. 22 years later it sounds...insane.
What were they thinking? What kind of music could possibly
live up to an expectation like that?

As a marketing category, things got off to a bad start.
Musical categories are never 100% precise, but this was anarchy.
Every kind of instrumental music that wasn't obviously jazz, folk,
or classical was dumped into the New Age bins. The home studio
revolution was in full swing, so just about any artist that released
an instrumental album wound up there.

When cross-cultural saxophonist YUSEF LATEEF won the first
New Age Grammy in 1987, he had to call his producer and ask
"What is this 'new age' and why are they calling my album that?".

With no filters and no standards, the genre soon had a reputation
for inconsistent quality and boring music. After a few years the
trend peaked, and both artists and listeners moved on. Some
electronic music formerly known as New Age came to be called
Ambient; the New Age handle had become a marketing taboo.

In 25 years of Hearts of Space, we've rarely mentioned the term,
while trying to bring you the best examples of electronic space,
ambient and contemplative music — all of which were once called
New Age. See, that's the thing: you could hate the name and still
find excellent music there. Well, if Barack Obama can talk about
political taboos like race and hope in his presidential campaign,
we can certainly take a moment to reflect on what's good about
new age music, while not denying any of its faults.

The core quality of the new age genre is music that's gentle,
peaceful and harmonious. While most music is designed to
stimulate, the word "relaxing" is joined to it at the hip. The
best of it is "psycho-acoustic" : psychologically and emotionally
stimulating, even when it's physically relaxing. Most of us can
use a little of that. As we say....slow music for fast times.

As a form of sonic landscape, new age music aims to create images
of heaven on earth — just as gardens did for centuries in the
Middle East and Asia. The best new age artists are skilled sound
designers and producers, who create very sophisticated sonic
environments.

PGM 485R : "SACRED TREASURES"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : choral masterworks from Russia
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 3-21-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The choral music of the Russian Orthodox Church has a
history that extends back to the ancient monastic chants of the
Byzantine empire, over a thousand years ago.

In Russia, the music of the Orthodox church evolved into some
of the purest and most beautiful music ever written for the
unaccompanied human voice. The Russian sacred service, sung
in the old high Slavonic language and called "The Divine Liturgy,"
is designed to set the soul soaring beyond earthly cares.

The solemn bells, flickering candles, golden icons, and deep
reverberation of the Russian cathedrals create the context;
the profound basses, the angelic sopranos, and the exquisite
harmonies of the large mixed choruses — all make this one of
the most soul stirring forms of 'sacred spacemusic' in existence.

This extraordinary collection of Orthodox prayers and hymns from
guest producer ELLEN HOLMES highlights a timeless Russian
tradition of faith and devotion. Featured composers are some of
the great all-stars of Russian liturgical music: familiar names
like RACHMANINOV and TCHAIKOVSKY, church composers like
TURCHANINOV, KEDROV, BORTNIANSKY, and the great Bulgarian
composer DOBRI CHRISTOV.

INTRO: By our count, this is the 40th program in the Hearts of
Space series inspired by the wistful charms of the Celtic ballad.

The big trend in Celtic music has receded, but we return to it,
not only to honor the Saint Patrick's Day celebration, but because
it's so musically and emotionally rewarding. Celtic music has deep
roots in the human experience, lovingly shared and developed from
generation to generation.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we continue our journey
in the pan-Celtic soundscape with a program called GENERATIONS.

PGM 832 : "KONTINUUM"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : infinitely extended electronic soundscapes
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 3-07-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: If musical genres had birthdays, electronic music
would now be over a hundred years old. The first playable
instruments appeared around the 1920s, but things really
got going in 1957 with the invention of the first vacuum
tube synthesizer. You can still see this electronic fossil
at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center at
Columbia University in New York City.

Since then, electronic music has been on a roll, merging
with the computer to breed new instruments and new
sounds in a 50-year period of continuous evolution.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another excursion
in the electronic soundscape called KONTINUUM.

The famous "space-time continuum" in physics merges
3-dimensional space and time into a single four-dimensional
construct. In music, as in science, a continuum is something
that retains a common character from beginning to end,
and changes by regular degrees. The music on this program
fits that definition.

FEED DATE : 2-29-08

INTRO: Sitting in front of a nine foot concert grand piano...
is like sitting at the wheel of an expensive luxury sedan.
The smell of fine materials.
The sheen of black lacquer.
The quality of a finely designed machine.

Let's see: The leather piano bench?...the leather seat.
The ivory keys?...the polished steering wheel.
The view out the window?...infinite driving possibility.
The view over the strings?...an infinite road to pure musical
imagination.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we put ourselves in
the hands of musicians who drive the piano into contemplative
soundscapes, on a program called PIANISSIMO.

INTRO: This week we continue our retrospective series
"25 YEARS IN SPACE," celebrating our 25th year of national
broadcasting.We've selected 25 shows that give an overview
of the Hearts of Space series and our style of ambient, space,
and contemplative music. We'll be featuring one retrospective
show from the series each month.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we journey to far
north soundworlds, with a 1986 program inspired by Nordic
mythology called ODIN'S DREAM. The title of our featured
album WUNJO, by GILES REAVES, was inspired by the
Nordic gods chronicled in RALPH BLUM's "Book of Runes."

The far north sound of emptiness...and fullness...
on this 25th anniversary transmission of Hearts of Space.

PGM 830 : "DAVID DARLING RETROSPECTIVE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : soulful lyricism from the revered American cellist
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 2-15-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: If all the press about the troubles in the music
business has you concerned, consider the career of cellist
DAVID DARLING to revive your spirits.

Born in Elkhart, Indiana in 1941, Darling began his career
as a music educator. He joined The PAUL WINTER CONSORT
in 1970, and stayed with the pioneering classical/jazz/world
fusion ensemble on and off until 1987. At the same time,
he played cello in the Nashville Symphony and worked as a
studio session player in Nashville when we wasn't touring.

In 1979 Darling met German producer and ECM Records
founder MANFRED EICHER. His first solo album JOURNAL
OCTOBER was released by ECM in 1980. Over the next
25 years, he played and recorded with an absolutely stellar
roster of jazz and classical musicians on ECM, did over a
dozen highly praised collaborations and group projects,
worked with writers and directors (including WIM WENDERS
and JEAN-LUC GODARD) on film scoring projects, and
continued his music education activities by co-founding
Music For People, a non-profit organization promoting
individual expression through music and improvisation.

To call him tireless, inspired and inspiring doesn't even
begin to cover it. Yet he remains one of the warmest,
most open people you'll ever meet, a quality that comes
across instantly in his solo concerts.

Over the last 25 years, DAVID DARLING has been one
of the foundation artists of HEARTS of SPACE, appearing
on 43 programs, starting with our debut program in 1983.
With its gentle open-hearted lyricism, simplicity, and
patience, his music achieves a rare depth and humanity.

PGM 829 : "GALACTIC TRAVELER"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : an electronic deep space excursion
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 2-08-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: You know, I've never seen a good explanation for it
but there's something about the intangibility of electronic
sounds that naturally link them to images of space.

From early PINK FLOYD, to classic German spacemusic,
to the Ambient sound sculptors of today, space...is the
place you wind up.

Of course, acoustic instruments can make space and
ambient music, but it takes the right sound environment
and a lot of extra work; electronic sounds seem to originate
in space, and provide the perfect sonic vehicle for traveling
through it.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we're going to
do just that, on an electronic spacemusic journey called
GALACTIC TRAVELER.

PGM 828 : "DEEP WORLD"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a contemplative journey in the polycultural soundscape
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 2-01-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: We live in a time of extreme contrasts: while one part
of the world enjoys unlimited material comfort, another suffers
strife, hunger and disease. High tech magic is just a border away
from descendents of stone-age tribes. Ancient conflicts divide
neighbors, while a global economy links nations half a world apart.

Propelled by these contrasts, today music floats freely around
the globe, cross-pollinating and gene-splicing the sounds of
cultures from primitive to sophisticated.

In the midst of this astonishing diversity sits a new breed of
composer: conscious of tradition but not limited by it,
transmitting the deep soul messages of their culture across
time and space with a new freedom of creative expression.

Classical cellist Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble, for example,
draws musicians from an array of Asian and Middle Eastern
cultures into fluid collaborations with the orchestra, while
solo artists from many countries invent new contexts for
the ancient instruments of their homelands.

FEED DATE : 1-25-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: This week we continue our retrospective series "25 YEARS
IN SPACE," celebrating our 25th year of national broadcasting.
We've selected 25 programs that give an overview of the HEARTS of
SPACE series and our style of ambient, space and contemplative
music. We kick off the series with three shows this month, then
one a month after that.

On this program from 1985, a real deep space journey called
BEYOND THE STARGATES. Attention: Spacefans, prepare yourself
for some serious traveling. We set the scene with this rare
invocation by Japanese spacemusic composer STOMU YAMASHTA.
The journey begins with BRIAN ENO's mythic "PROPHECY THEME"
and additional music from the soundtrack of the film DUNE. Then,
we journey onward with the eerie sounds of an aeolian WIND HARP,
and continue with MICHAEL STEARNS' mysterious and powerful music from LYRA: SOUND CONSTELLATION. In the deep spacefields beyond, we drift through distant galaxies with music by TIMOTHY WILLIAM HELLEM and BRIAN ENO. We return from our journeys with spacemusic from Germany by the group CLUSTER, once again with BRIAN ENO.

A journey BEYOND THE STARGATES...on this 25th Anniversary edition of Hearts of Space.

INTRO: This week we continue our retrospective series "25 YEARS
IN SPACE," celebrating our 25th year of national broadcasting.
We've selected 25 programs that give an overview of the HEARTS of
SPACE series and our style of ambient, space and contemplative
music. We kick off the series with three shows this month, then
one a month after that.
On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, a 1984 program called
SEA AND SKY — a tribute to two of the most inspiring environments
on earth, and theme for countless artistic expressions throughout
the ages. SEA AND SKY is also the title of the major work on the
program, one of the first successful integrations of synthesizers
and symphony orchestra...by Japanese composer STOMU YAMASHTA.
A fearless experimenter, YAMASHTA has had a unique and varied
international career as a percussionist and composer of popular
electronic music and scores for film and theater.
We'll also hear images of the sea and sky of ANTARCTICA from a
film soundtrack by VANGELIS, and conclude with early atmospheric
electronic music by STEVE ROACH.
