PGM 865 : "TERRA STATICA"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
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.

INTRO: Cold, clear and quiet, we drift through frozen lakes

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 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 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.

PGM 859 : "WINTER HYMNS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a seasonal acoustic celebration
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 12-12-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: As the winter chill creeps into our souls, we return
to one of the oldest and most rewarding human traditions:
the singing of hymns.

With timeless melodies cherished over thousands of years,
songs of praise, prayer and adoration never lose their appeal —
especially during difficult times — and the end of the year
holiday season when, singing together, the human family
renews its commitment to generosity, peace and goodwill
to all.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a seasonal acoustic
celebration called WINTER HYMNS.

PGM 858 : "RESOLUTION"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : ambient electronica for problem-solving
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 12-05-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Winter 2008: the weather is freezing...while the economy
is melting. With all the talk of recession, war, terrorism, and
planetary crisis, it's no wonder everyone's a little depressed.
Admit it, spacefan, you're wistful for those carefree days of
escapist entertainment and unlimited resources to squander.

Well, we know we can't go back, but how about an hour of
shiny new electronic waveforms while we focus on fixing things?
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, an hour of ambient
electronica to energize and calm the mind for problem-solving
called RESOLUTION.

PGM 540R : GOTHICA
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a darkly ethereal, modern medieval journey for Fall
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-28-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: When the definitive history of 20th century music is
written, there will be a short but intense chapter on the
phenomenon called GOTHIC.

It is in this darkly ethereal environment that atmospheric
electronics, medieval dirges, and high-style romantic pop genres
like Gothic Rock, Dreampop, Darkwave, Goth-Industrial and
Goth-Metal intersect, cross-pollinate, and breed new shades
of crimson roses.

On this edition of Hearts of Space, we explore some of the
sounds and metaphors of this area of ethereal space music
on a program called GOTHICA.

PGM 857 : "DUSK TO DUSK"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : ambient/classical introspections for fall
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-21-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: When musical tradition meets creative innovation,
just about anything can happen. The results can be harmonious
or dissonant, fascinating or boring, exciting or torpid.

These days, you can find experiments of all kinds in the blandly
named "new music" genre. From the deliberate iconoclasm of
descendents of the 20th century Avant-Garde to the stirring pulses
of the minimalists, the heady abstractions of the conceptualists,
or the contemplative explorations of "deep listening" — classical
values are always being stretched and adapted into new forms.

On this late autumn transmission of Hearts of Space, we explore
the intersection of classical form and ambient space, with a
program of introspective journeys called DUSK TO DUSK.

PGM 610R : "SHADOWPLAY"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : descending into the somber tonalities of fall
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-14-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Fall...is the season of descent. Everything is falling:
leaves, of course; the temperature; the amount of daylight; and
frequently the rain. The music of fall is darker, lower, shadowed,
mutable, with glints of gold — perfectly expressed by the complex
timbres of the cello, the oboe, and the piano.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we explore the ambient
tonalities and sombre emotions of the autumn season, on a
program called...SHADOWPLAY.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a somber-but-hopeful dark ambient journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-07-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The turbulent days and storm-tossed nights of November
have their own special energy. All too often, it's an extended
tribulation on the long transition to the heart of winter, and
the redemptive light of the holiday season.

It's a time of recognition of things lost, and potentials to come;
melancholy...often painful...but infused with hope. This year the
transition takes on a special meaning, as we confront difficult
times and extraordinary changes.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a somber-but-hopeful
dark ambient journey for Scorpio called TRIBULATION.
