HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1100 : "SPACE SONGS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : A special journey in the epic, ethereal, contemplative halls of Dream Pop
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Miscellaneous/Eclectic, New Vocal, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 15-Jan-2016
INTRO : THIS WEEK WE MARK OUR 1100TH PROGRAM and 33rd year of national broadcasting with another of our centennial specials. This time we're going to depart from our normal wordless all-instrumental format and bring you a special collection of epic and contemplative electro-Ambient songs from the ethereal world of "Dream Pop."
I know, this violates one of the prime directives of Ambient music programming, because song lyrics in a language you understand engage your cognitive mind and force your brain to listen differently from the diffuse, spatially aware way you listen to Ambient music.
It's a shame, because some of the world's most talented and successful artists, producers and engineers put their hearts and souls and Ambient sensibilities into these often awesome recordings. Even typical verse/chorus songs can deliver stirring sound images and passionate performances, while other artists create songs that march through vast virtual spaces, build monumental chorales inherited from the classical repertoire, or create the intimate contemplative spaces we love in non-vocal forms of Ambient music.
Sure, sometimes the subject matter is mundane, but there's an emotional reason that popular songs rule the charts and move millions. If you ignore what pop song artists are doing with Ambient sounds, you're gonna miss some transcendent music. So on this centennial show, why not see what some of our pop song creators have been up to?
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a journey in the halls of Dream Pop, on a program called SPACE SONGS.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1101 : "NORTHSCAPES" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Ambient electronics for quiet winter nights
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Electronic Space, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 22-Jan-2016
INTRO : There's nothing quite like the stillness of a frigid winter night. Sensible humans retreat to their heated homes and warm beds, while the normal hyperactivity of the natural world is reduced to almost nothing by cold and dark. Even busy nocturnal creatures and insects take some time off, while flowing water turns to silent ice.
It's an environment that finds expression in a rarified genre of electronic music, which runs the gamut from cool to chilled to frozen. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, Ambient electronic winter music, on a program called NORTHSCAPES.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1102 : "MOSS GARDEN: A David Bowie Ambient Retrospective" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : David Bowie and Brian Eno, Berlin 1977
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Artist Special, Electronic Space, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 5-Feb-2016
INTRO : THE SINGULAR ENGLISH POP STAR DAVID BOWIE died in the early days of 2016. His 50-year career at the frontiers of popular music drew thousands of heartfelt tributes from around the world. Loved for his fearless creativity as much as his elegance and personal style, Bowie inspired generations of other musicians (and fans) to follow their muse, get outside the box, and dance on it.
One of the lesser-known chapters of the Bowie story happened in 1977, when he moved to Berlin and began collaborating with another brilliant Englishman: music producer, godfather and name-giver of modern Ambient music, BRIAN ENO.
The so-called "Berlin trilogy" of albums: LOW, HEROES, and LODGER were the result. Like everything else Bowie did, they bear his unique creative stamp: innovative, provocative and, for the time, appropriately dark, while still accessible to his fans.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space from guest producer, HOS production manager and Bowie super fan JOSEPH JACOBS, we revisit this special chapter in the Bowie story, on a program called MOSS GARDEN: A DAVID BOWIE AMBIENT RETROSPECTIVE.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1103 : "INTIMACY" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The gentle world of sensitive connection
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 12-Feb-2016
INTRO : This week we shine some light into the depths of winter with the celebration of Valentine's Day. The legend of Saint Valentine goes back to an early Christian martyr in 3rd century Rome. We can thank Chaucer for the connection to romantic love in the 14th century, and the Hallmark Corporation for turning it into a yearly holiday with cards and gifts.
The tradition offers a natural connection to quiet musical dialogues that express the sensitive connection between lovers. On this transmission of Hearts of Space...Ambient chamber music and duets for the season, on a program called INTIMACY.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1104 : "IN A LANDSCAPE" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : John Cage and the Ambient sensibility in New Music
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Orchestral/Chamber, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 26-Feb-2016
INTRO : THE 20th CENTURY AMERICAN COMPOSER JOHN CAGE built an artistic legacy that's still influential more than two decades after his death in 1992. Cage took great delight in subverting the aesthetic orthodoxies of his day and liberating himself and fellow artists to break rules and create something entirely new — the very definition of avant-garde art.
If you've been listening to Hearts of Space for awhile, you've probably noticed that the music we bring you spans a wide range of cultural time and place, and seems to come from very different concerns: a contemplative music, as BRIAN ENO famously put it in his Ambient Manifesto of 1978, "that creates calm and a space to think."
Yet, like the so-called "Venn diagram" that visually reveals the common area where seemingly different entities overlap, avant-garde and post-classical "New Music" have long had a taste for ambient sound, and many avant-garde composers were deeply influenced by Cage and his unorthodox techniques of creating music, including his famous piece consisting of 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence — perhaps the ultimate statement of ambient space.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we explore the overlap between avant-garde and Ambient music, on a program called IN A LANDSCAPE.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1105 : "ATMOSPHERIC" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Airy, timeless, immersive electronics
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 4-Mar-2016
INTRO : If there's one thing that Ambient electronic music excels at creating, it's the experience of floating in space. And when that space is high, light, and airy, we call it "atmospheric."
Atmospheres have qualities — elevation, temperature, brightness, color, density: low to high, cold to warm, dark to light, and a wide range of tones. When we immerse ourselves in sonic atmospheres, our normal sense of time seems to disappear: suspended in space, we lose track of time. Einstein probably had a special theory about that.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another immersive electronic journey, on a program called ATMOSPHERIC.

GENRE(s) : Celtic, Spring, St. Patrick's Day
FIRST BROADCAST : 11-Mar-2016
INTRO : Once again it's mid-March and time to celebrate the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick. And it's the perfect reason for us to return to the gorgeous melodies and flawless musicianship of traditional Celtic music, with a focus on the slow airs, deep laments, and poignant ballads.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space from our longtime guest producer ELLEN HOLMES, a program called GAELIC BLESSING.

GENRE(s) : Orchestral/Chamber, Sacred/Choral, Easter
FIRST BROADCAST : 25-Mar-2016

On this transmission of Hearts of Space from guest producer ELLEN HOLMES, choral and instrumental classics from across nine centuries of Christian sacred music, on a program called: AN EASTER CELEBRATION.

PGM NOTE : Vibrant Ambient electronics for spring
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Electronic Space, Spring
FIRST BROADCAST : 8-Apr-2016
INTRO : The arrival of spring is, as they say about the future, "unequally distributed." While our friends in the northern states are enduring a last round of snow, the seasonal transition has been underway here in California for over two months.
Whatever your weather, after the grey skies and dark drones of winter, we're due for some spring music: light, airy, energetic, ready to venture out and enjoy the world around us.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, an hour of sparkling Ambient electronics for spring...on a program called VERNAL TRANSIT.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1109 : "INDO-TRONICA 2" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The sublime world of Indian-electronic fusions
GENRE(s) : East Indian, Ethno/Ambient, Spring, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 15-Apr-2016
INTRO : The exotic twang of the sitar--an Indian string instrument derived from a much older Hindustani instrument called the veena. Influenced by the Persian lute called the setar, it was modified and renamed in the 16th century by musicians in the Mughal court. By the 18th century the sitar had become a mainstay of Indian classical music.
Introduced to the west in the 1950s by RAVI SHANKAR and others, and briefly popularized by the BEATLES in the 1960s, in the 1970s the sitar encountered something completely new: the electronic synthesizer.
Electronic instruments and studio techniques opened up and modernized the sound of Indian music; while Indian classical music inspired western musicians to try a completely different system of musical creation, based on drones, microtonal scales, and improvisation on pre-composed melodic ragas and rhythmic talas.
It's hard to say whether the Western or Indian system dominated the encounter; today we enjoy a healthy cross-fertilization of digital technology with Indian musical instruments and traditions. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another report from the intersection of Indian music and Western electronics, on a program called INDO-TRONICA 2.

PGM NOTE : Riding the breeze into a fresh new season
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Electronic Space, Spring
FIRST BROADCAST : 29-Apr-2016
INTRO : SPRING EMERGES from the cold grip of winter, slow and subtle at first, then unpredictable. The weather changes daily, the light grows stronger, the trees bud and blossom, and the natural world awakes, while melting water begins its long journey back to the sea. Humans move with more energy, and Ambient composers create images of flow.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space...Ambient electronica for the season, on a program called FLOWING INTO SPRING 3.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1111 : "CHAMBERS OF THE HEART 2" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : A journey from Ambient chambers to intimate floating worlds
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Electronic Space, Orchestral/Chamber, Non-Seasonal, Peace, Be Still
FIRST BROADCAST : 6-May-2016
INTRO : FORTY YEARS INTO THE ERA of personal recording studios, musicians can create virtual ensembles of any size. But when it comes to introspective instrumental music, it's often better to think small, and extend the centuries-long tradition of chamber music. Small doesn't mean weak or shallow: some of the deepest and most psychologically potent music ever made is for small ensembles.
Today almost anything you can imagine is possible, and categorical distinctions like acoustic, electric or electronic are less important than overall sound, character, emotion and depth. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, an Ambient chamber music journey to intimate floating worlds — on a program called CHAMBERS OF THE HEART 2.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1112 : "TIMELESS FLIGHT" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : From earthy skin drum rhythms to cosmic space
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Spring, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 20-May-2016
INTRO : One thing that all forms of ambient, space, and contemplative music have in common is the power to alter our sense of time. It's not a science — the effect is subjective and unpredictable — but the experience is widely shared by listeners like you. Perhaps one day neuroscience will understand exactly how it works. For now, as in the past, we can simply enjoy the impression of time slowing down and space expanding.
In the virtual psychoacoustic spaces of ambient music, we can move and fly, limited only by our imaginations. On this transmission of Hearts of Space...a journey from earthy skin drum rhythms to cosmic electronic spaces, on a program called TIMELESS FLIGHT.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1113 : "SWEET SERENITY" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Lovely, spacious and calm: New Age music for spring
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Electronic Space, Spring, Peace, Be Still
FIRST BROADCAST : 27-May-2016
INTRO : In the 1970s a grassroots music movement emerged in the United States, Europe and Japan. Inspired by psychoactive chemistry and exotic forms of Eastern spirituality, enabled by inexpensive recording equipment and cheap publishing on cassettes, and supported by a burgeoning marketplace of specialized bookstores and boutiques, in the 1980s it received the dubious moniker "New Age Music." It was all about relaxation and a sonic pathway to inner experience.
New opportunities for success in independent music are rare. What began as a promising new culture was soon overrun by less inspired artists and a glut of mediocre albums that left the genre with a reputation for extravagant marketing claims but insipid, boring music. Yet like most genres, there were always exceptional artists releasing sensitive, beautiful and worthwhile music — you just had to find them.
Today there's been a revival of critical interest in the genre, with re-releases of lost classics and popular compilations. All the while, many of the best and most authentic New Age artists and record labels have quietly kept going. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, an hour of new age music worth listening to, on a program called SWEET SERENITY.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1114 : "BIOSONIC" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Ambient electronics and the natural soundscape
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Electronic Space, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 10-Jun-2016
INTRO : Coded deep into our perceptual software is the language of the natural environment: the sounds and patterns of birds, insects, animals, weather, wind and water. Even before music existed, our primordial ancestors knew how to interpret these sounds to navigate their environment, find food, and respond to danger.
When music evolved, it was originally heard in the context of natural sounds. Over the centuries, music moved indoors and became more dissociated from nature, until ambient musicians rediscovered the power of combining music with natural sounds and fractal patterns.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we immerse ourselves in natural and electronic soundscapes, on a program called BIOSONIC.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1115 : "ETHNOTRONIC 2" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Sultry global rhythms and ambient atmospheres
GENRE(s) : Ethno/Ambient, Summer, World Fusion, Peace, Be Still
FIRST BROADCAST : 17-Jun-2016
INTRO : The increasingly indispensible Wikipedia tells us that the term "World Music" was popularized in the 1980s as a marketing category for non-Western traditional music. "Globalization" has become controversial these days for its effect on western jobs, but on the cultural side, it's expanded world music's audiences and scope — which has grown to include hybrid subgenres like world fusion, global fusion, ethnic fusion, and worldbeat.
"Fusion" implies the cross-pollination of different genres, often something old and something new, like traditional ethnic instruments and musical styles with electronic textures and production techniques. Whether that means progressive recordings from native artists in exotic places, or exotic elements in recordings by western artists, the result is vibrant, creative, open-minded contemporary music.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, sultry global rhythms and ambient atmospheres for summer, on a program called ETHNOTRONIC 2.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1116 : "HEARTLAND: A PAT METHENY RETROSPECTIVE" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Spacious, lyrical, open-hearted music of the Missouri jazz guitarist
GENRE(s) : Artist Special, Contemporary Instrumental, Guitar, Space Jazz, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 1-Jul-2016
INTRO : When talking about jazz guitar great PAT METHENY's long and stellar career, two words come to mind above all others: lyrical and versatile. In a genre with a long history of creative guitarists, Metheny stands out for his open-hearted melodic sensibility, and his desire to explore the widest range of musical and technical possibilities.
Metheny hails from Kansas City, Missouri, at the edge of the great plains. And many of his best-loved pieces evoke the softly rolling spaces of the American heartland. His body of work includes compositions for solo guitar, small ensembles, electric and acoustic instruments, large orchestras, and ballet music, with settings ranging from modern jazz to rock, free improvisation to hymns, minimalism to classical.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we highlight the lyrical, ambient side of Pat Metheny's music, on a program called HEARTLAND: A PAT METHENY RETROSPECTIVE.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1117 : "PSYCHETRONIC SUMMER" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The hallucinogenic sound of psychedelic electronica
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Electronic Space, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 8-Jul-2016
INTRO : PSYCHEDELIC MUSIC was born in the 1960s, a predictable mutation of psychedelic drugs and popular culture. The roots of the word psychedelic mean "revealing the mind" — a revelation that turned out to be both colorful and unpredictable.
Psychedelic music aimed to reveal an expanded version of the mind, using audible distortion and warped perspective, sustained floating textures and drones, fractal repetitions and feedback, liberally seasoned with sounds from nature and exotic cultures, especially India.
As a trend, it ran its course in the 1960s, was revived in the 1970s, quoted lovingly by fashionable bands in the 80s and 90s, and became a core influence on millennial genres like Trip Hop, Shoegaze, Acid Jazz, Acid House, and the many varieties of Trance — to name just a few. We just can't seem to quit it.
Like an aesthetic virus, the pure electronic form of psychedelic music invented in the 1960s and 70s infected musicians using sound as a vehicle for inner space travel and consciousness alteration. In a word: trippy.
Along the way, these sonic explorers found kindred spirits in archaic traditions like shamanism and pagan rituals. What began as free exploration with mind-bending chemicals ultimately became a quest for new modes of perception, psychological therapy, escape from the normal boundaries of self, and at its most extreme — visions and hallucinations at the borders of oblivion. These grassroots experiments paved the way for the massive tribal-Electronic Dance Music festivals of today, with their promise of transcending self through ecstatic group experience.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a journey in the altered soundscapes of psychedelic space, on a program called PSYCHETRONIC SUMMER.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1118 : "BHAKTI" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The sound of spiritual devotion in Indian fusion
GENRE(s) : East Indian, Spring, Summer, World Fusion
FIRST BROADCAST : 22-Jul-2016
INTRO : Once again we begin with the sinuous notes of the East Indian sitar, played here by ANOUSHKA SHANKAR. Like her late father RAVI SHANKAR, she carries on extending the classical tradition of Indian music in the West, while others do the same for Indian folk and religious music.
Whatever the source, there's a feeling that links these artists: the gentle sense of devotion — to music, and to the Indian spiritual practice called bhakti. Bhakti is love and devotion to religious ideas that engage both emotion and intellect. Like prayer, devotion is quiet, inward, emotional: a movement of the heart.
Today, both Indian and western musicians are bringing an ambient sensibility to the drones and filigrees of Indian devotional music. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, the sound of spiritual devotion in Indian fusion, on a program called BHAKTI.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1120 : "KORA CONNECTION" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Melodies and rhythms of West Africa and Madagascar
GENRE(s) : African/Sub-Saharan, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 12-Aug-2016
INTRO : Well, you can tell right away this isn't going to be your typical Hearts of Space program. As part of our summer world music programming, we're going to West Africa, and the joyful sound of the 21 string harp-lute called the kora. It's an instrument that embodies the softer side of African folk music, attracting both native and western players with a unique combination of melody and rhythm. We also have music from Madagascar for the tubular zither called the valiha.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a program called KORA CONNECTION.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1121 : "DESERT REFLECTIONS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : A sun-dried, high plateau, ambient/electronic journey
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Ethno/Ambient, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 2-Sep-2016
INTRO : After two centuries of novels and a century of films, the endless desert spaces of the American Southwest have taken on a mythic identity. The desert has become a metaphor for expansion, infinite opportunity, and the wild frontier — the scene of rough justice and adventure, and a place for self-discovery and reinvention.
For Ambient musicians, the desert has long been a prime source of inspiration, a visual and spatial touchstone, a realm of vast vistas and profound silences. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another journey in the sun-dried spaces of the American Southwest, on a program called DESERT REFLECTIONS.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1122 : "SUMMER'S END" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The cooling, descending, nostaligic, slightly melancholy sound of summer's end
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Fall, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 16-Sep-2016
INTRO : It's only three short months from the summer solstice to the autumn equinox, and we make the most of them: travel, vacation, backyard parties, fun at the beach or the lake, and sports and water activities of every description. All that plus balmy nights, and the hypnotic rhythm of the crickets to lull us to sleep. Summer can be a magical respite in our complicated lives, but when mid-September comes, we know it's drawing to a close.
Instrumental music can express our complex feelings about the end of summer: good memories, a sense of nostalgia, a tinge of melancholy, and quiet acceptance. Acoustic instruments like piano, guitar and cello are perfect for the job, especially when enhanced by electronics. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, music for the summer/fall transition on a program called SUMMER'S END.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1123 : "MOBY : AMBIENT WORKS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : A mini-retrospective, from downtempo to deep
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Artist Special, Electronic Space, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 23-Sep-2016
INTRO : MOBY is the stage name of musician RICHARD MELVILLE HALL. Herman Melville of Moby Dick fame is a distant relative, which accounts for the nickname. Moby emerged as a New York DJ in the early 1990's and went on to create a string of increasingly successful albums of electronic dance music, including the 10 million selling downtempo hit PLAY.
But there was always a softer, spacier side of Moby. His fascination with ambient electronic sound led to individual pieces, a double album with one pop and one ambient disk, and in 2016 — a free, four-hour long set of downloadable pieces called LONG AMBIENTS 1: CALM. SLEEP. As you'll hear, Moby's ambient music has evolved from downtempo rhythms to orchestral electronic soundscapes, and become ever deeper, more ethereal and profound.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we journey through Moby's ambient soundscapes and settle into his extended pieces, on a program called MOBY : AMBIENT WORKS.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1124 : "FALLING LEAVES" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Descending into the complex colors of the autumn soundscape
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Electronic Space, Fall, Orchestral/Chamber
FIRST BROADCAST : 7-Oct-2016
INTRO : Summer often departs unwillingly, with warm days that linger into autumn. In years to come, the transition will probably take even longer, but eventually, the sun sinks ever lower, the days grow shorter, the light dims, and the natural world prepares for the long winter to come: drying, darkening, withering, dropping, and dying — to be reborn.
The music of the season slows, darkens, and takes on a more somber affect, echoing the complex colors and restrained energy of autumn, as the sun withdraws to its winter retreat. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, an electro-acoustic journey in the autumn soundscape, on a program called FALLING LEAVES.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1125 : "STARSCAPES" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Sonic images of the cosmic panorama
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 21-Oct-2016
INTRO : In the 1950s and 60s, the new sounds of electronic music emerged from academic laboratories in Europe and the United States. The motivations were self-consciously experimental, artistic, and technical.
In Cologne, Germany one great innovator was the powerful theorist and teacher KARLHEINZ STOCKHAUSEN. One of his surprising early discoveries was that, unlike acoustic instruments, abstract electronic sounds seemed to create the impression of cosmic space. "In my imagination," Stockhausen said, "I can fly anywhere—to the stars; use the music as a flying device, to unify with the cosmic forces. I think it's important that...we are instruments ourselves, and that cosmic vibrations create sounds through us." It was the beginning of what we now call Electronic Spacemusic.
Today, inexpensive instruments and recording software allow anyone to create electronic music, and the sounds of space are all around us — in music and film, games and video. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another cosmic/electronic journey, on a program called STARSCAPES.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1126 : "NECROMANTIC" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : A melancholy Dark Ambient journey for Halloween
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Fall, Halloween
FIRST BROADCAST : 28-Oct-2016
INTRO : And so, dear space fans, once again we arrive at that confluence of restless spirits and gloomy atmospheres we celebrate each October as All Hallows Eve.
It's a tradition that goes back thousands of years, a period when darkness, mystery, death and decay take center stage, and strange, troubled beings emerge from the shadows of our own psyche. It's a time for ominous, melancholy, disquieting sounds that challenge our desire for security and peace of mind — a cathartic encounter with the underworld and the spirits of the dead.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a somber Dark Ambient journey for Halloween, on a program called NECROMANTIC.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1127 : "ECM ATMOSPHERES" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Atmospheric Jazz, Classical and New Music
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Fall, Orchestral/Chamber, Space Jazz, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 4-Nov-2016
INTRO : German musician and record producer MANFRED EICHER founded the ECM label in 1969. The name stands for Edition of Contemporary Music.
To say ECM has been a big success would badly understate the case. in 46 years and over 1200 albums, ECM has not only influenced the course of contemporary music, it's established and continues to define a standard of musical, sonic and graphic excellence that other labels can only dream of.
ECM began with improvised jazz and expanded into contemporary classical composition with the "ECM New Series" in 1984. Along the way, the label also made important contributions to World Music, experimental, and unique, unclassifiable genres. All by itself, ECM is a cultural force to be reckoned with.
But it's the nature of the ECM sound that accounts for its core position in the Hearts of Space repertoire. From the beginning, it encouraged and lovingly documented a contemporary stream of contemplative music: spacious, atmospheric, quiet, and deep.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, an ECM mini-retrospective, on a program called ECM ATMOSPHERES.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1128 : "LAMENTO 3: VALE OF TEARS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Grief and mourning for the dark season
GENRE(s) : Fall, Orchestral/Chamber, Sacred/Choral
FIRST BROADCAST : 18-Nov-2016
INTRO : As we descend into the short days of the dark season, we find music that portrays human emotions at their most vulnerable: music of pathos and loss, trauma and remembrance. These are some of our most powerful and affecting feelings, and they call for music that reaches into the depths of our souls.
A lament is a cathartic song or poem expressing grief or mourning. Many of the oldest and most enduring poems in human history have been laments; they're found in the Iliad and the Odyssey, the Hindu Vedas, and ancient Near Eastern religious texts, including the Old Testament.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another special program of choral, vocal and instrumental music for the dark season — from longtime guest producer for classical and sacred music, ELLEN HOLMES — called LAMENTO 3: VALE OF TEARS.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1129 : "ELECTRON TRAVELER 2" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : A chilled deep space journey on electronic waves
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Electronic Space, Fall, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 25-Nov-2016
INTRO : If you make music with conventional acoustic instruments, you know in advance what each of them will sound like; your sonic choices are in the combination of instruments and the details.
On the other hand, if you're an electronic musician, you have to choose or invent every sound you work with, a process we now call "sound design." These days there are pre-designed electronic sounds built into instruments and software, but the variety is much greater, and the choices are endless.
So the electronic sounds you select or create are as much a part of your artistic identity as the music you make with them. And when it comes to ambient electronic music, you have to add the virtual dimensions of space and atmosphere. Taken together, these elements give electronic music its unique psychological character.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, ambient electronics for the fall/winter transition, on a program called ELECTRON TRAVELER 2.

PGM NOTE : Flowing into the season of light and generosity
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Contemporary Instrumental, Electronic Space, Holiday, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 9-Dec-2016
INTRO : In the waning days of November and early days of December, we leave behind the trials and tribulations of the year past and focus on the annual rituals of the holiday season. In the shortest days and longest nights of the year, light itself becomes the theme, and an integral part of the year-end religious celebrations.
Whether it's traditional, commercial or spiritual, the music of the season takes on a festive, energetic air, culminating in the dazzling celebrations of the new year. It's a time for generosity, optimism, and hope.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we celebrate the spirit of the season, on a journey called TOWARD THE LIGHT.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1131 : "COMFORT AND JOY 3" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Resonant acoustic strings to warm the winter soundscape
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Holiday, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 16-Dec-2016
INTRO : Winter settles in, and we seek warmth and the immediate satisfaction of familiar things: food, fire, friends, and the traditional sounds of acoustic instruments. The resonant overtones of fine wood and crystalline steel on instruments like the guitar, the Celtic harp, and the hybrid "harp-guitar" take on a special glow.
In our fast-moving world of electronic technologies, it's easy to forget that for thousands of years acoustic instruments were the alpha and omega of musical experience — limited in sonic range and variety, but not in subtlety, depth, or expression.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, sparkling acoustic sounds to warm the winter soundscape, on a program called COMFORT AND JOY 3.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1132 : "POLAR FLIGHT 2" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : A superchilled electronic journey in the Arctic north
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Electronic Space, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 30-Dec-2016
INTRO : We're flying over the north polar icecap — in winter, a dazzling wonderland of white and deep blue. It's a vast glacial world of snow and ice, fractal patterns shot through with veins of melting water. Ambient electronic music, with its chilled harmonies, slowly changing rhythm patterns and endless reverberant sound images, creates the perfect soundtrack for this spectacular landscape.
In the polar night above the Arctic Circle, the winter sun never rises above the horizon; only the hypnotic ion curtains of the auroras relieve the darkness, while the sounds of moving water and breaking ice punctuate the solitude. It's a contemplative environment of sublime majesty and depth.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space...a journey to the Arctic north, on a program called POLAR FLIGHT 2.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1133 : "METALLOPHONIC" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The contemplative sound of bells, bowls and gongs
GENRE(s) : Miscellaneous/Eclectic, Tibetan, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 6-Jan-2017
INTRO : At the nadir of winter, we return to the very special sounds and instruments of the Tibetan Plateau. In the Himalayan mountains at "the roof of the world," the air is thin, clear and cold, and Tibetan bells, bowls, gongs and cymbals are used in the native Buddhist culture to create powerful sonic meditations.
The crystalline alloys of these metal instruments ring with a sublime purity, effortlessly drawing the receptive listener into states of sonic rapture. Western musicians traveled to Tibet and Nepal in the 1960s, brought back these rare instruments and introduced them in the West. Today you can buy them on Amazon.com (search for "Tibetan meditation bells") and they're used by sound healers, therapists and musicians around the world.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, the contemplative sound of resonant percussion, on a program called METALLOPHONIC.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1134 : "AFTER THE BURN" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The nostalgic sound of a world without us
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Fall, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 13-Jan-2017
INTRO : Beyond dystopia, after Armageddon and the apocalypse, lies an ever-changing realm of "extinction scenarios" where philosophers, writers and artists confront the specter of a post-human world. It's really horrific stuff, but we're fascinated by it.
So-called "end time" prophecies, once confined to extremist religious groups, are in the air these days, thanks to increased fears related to climate change, biotechnology, pandemics, artificial intelligence, and even renewed threats of nuclear annihilation. It's a kind of psychological background radiation — a dark presence in the eternal battle between fear and change, cynicism and hope.
California ambient composer ROBERT RICH has long expressed a deep love for the natural world in his music. Recently, he's begun to imagine what a world without us would sound like — a slow-motion collision of ecology and eschatology (the study of the end of humanity).
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a nostalgic look back at Earth after the "anthropocene" era...a cheerfully apocalyptic program called AFTER THE BURN.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1135 : "OVERCAST" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : A journey in wintry monochromes
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Electronic Space, Piano, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 27-Jan-2017
INTRO : The typical winter atmosphere is muted and monochrome, under a sky of dense grey-blue clouds. Above, chilled vapor waits to return to earth as cold rain, sleet or snow. On the ground, it's a world of desaturated colors and diffuse shadows, punctuated by storms and relieved briefly by short bright days. Nature sleeps, awaiting the awakening of spring.
The sound of winter is slow, ethereal, subtle, with occasional accents of brilliant white or deep black. Bell sounds and the metal strings of the piano ring across the landscape, supported by profound dark drones.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we ride the sounds of winter to a place of deep calm, on a program called OVERCAST.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1136 : "NORTH WIND 2" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Wintry contemplative folk sounds of Scandinavia
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Scandinavian/Arctic, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 3-Feb-2017
INTRO : The Nordic folk music of Scandinavia and Northern Europe takes a stand for warmth and human emotion in a land of long and challenging winters. And while these traditions share some elements with the neighboring Celtic lands, unique instruments like the hardanger fiddle, the nyckelharpe, and the wire-strung zither called the kantele give Finnish, Swedish, and Norwegian folk music a sound and feeling all their own. It's a tradition that really comes alive in the depth of winter.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space...contemplative folk sounds of Scandinavia and Northern Europe, on a program called NORTH WIND 2.

PGM NOTE : Ambient electronics for traveling and levitation
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Electronic Space, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 17-Feb-2017
INTRO : Slogging through the recurring storms, natural disasters and political turmoil of this seemingly endless winter, even the sudden appearance of the first blossoms of spring on the trees here in California brings only a moment of joy and relief. No, what we need is some extended sonic therapy, the kind that Ambient Electronic music magically provides.
So let's get back to basics: on this transmission of Hearts of Space, music for deep space traveling and weightless levitation, on a program called FLYING AND FLOATING 3.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1138 : "CHAMBERS OF THE HEART 3" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The slow, spacious, intimate world of ambient chamber music
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Orchestral/Chamber, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 3-Mar-2017
INTRO : Classical chamber music has had a long and fascinating history. From its roots in Medieval songs and instrumental "consorts," through centuries of change at the hands of the great names of European music — Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and later Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, Debussy, and a host of modernists and contemporaries.
Chamber music instrumentation followed the evolution of European classical music. In medieval times, string instruments accompanied singers. In the Baroque era, small ensembles combined dance movements with quiet interludes and led to the invention of the trio sonata.
In the Classical era, Austrian composer FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN focused on the string quartet and trios featuring the newly invented pianoforte. Haydn is credited with creating the intimate, conversational style of musical interaction that defines what we now call chamber music.
The late 20th century brought a new musical consciousness for minimalist, ambient and contemplative music, employing both traditional acoustic and electronic instruments, enhanced by studio techniques of sound manipulation.
Ambient chamber music differs from the historical forms: it's consistently slow, often repetitive, environmental, reverberant, and meditative. And while it may still use traditional acoustic instruments, the focus is not on the musical conversation, but creating a contemplative soundscape that patiently leads the listener into deeper levels of musical experience.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, ambient chamber music by some of the very best of the genre, on a program called CHAMBERS OF THE HEART 3.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1139 : "EUROVISIONS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Visionary music from Europe in the 1970s and 80s
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Electronic Space, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 17-Mar-2017
INTRO : The dynamic decades of the 1960s, 70s and 80s brought an explosion of creativity in music. In Europe, the arrival of practical electronic instruments transformed centuries of musical evolution. The Greek composer VANGELIS expanded late 18th and 19th century Romanticism into cosmic space, while French and German artists extended the early 20th century Impressionism of DEBUSSY and RAVEL into new realms of sound, with innovative timbres, ambient atmospheres, and advanced spatial imagery. It was revolutionary and unprecedented, and more than 40 years later, we haven't heard the end of it.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we look back on this fertile period, on a program called EUROVISIONS — not to be confused, by the way, with the yearly "Eurovision" Song Contest.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1140 : "SPACE GUITARS 13" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : A lucky journey in the six-string universe
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Guitar, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 24-Mar-2017
INTRO : Since 1985 we've been celebrating the spatially expanded version of the ubiquitous folk instrument known as the guitar. From its nomadic roots as the middle-eastern lute called the oud, through its evolution in medieval Spain to the Spanish guitar, its electrification in 20th century America, and later electronification as a vehicle for virtual space travel — the guitar has arguably become the most successful musical instrument in history, as well as the subject of our largest and longest-running series.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we journey far and deep in the six-string universe, on a lucky program called SPACE GUITARS 13.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1141 : "PRANA PULSE" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Groove-centric, tribal-electronic, Indo-ambient sounds
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, East Indian, Electronic Space, Spring, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 31-Mar-2017
INTRO : One of the truly improbable results of 20th century cultural openness and experimentation has been the international success of yoga. From its origins as a means of physical support for Indian meditation practice, yoga came west with counterculture explorers in the 1970s, took root, and against all odds became a standard of the western fitness industry.
Today, yoga fuels burgeoning spin offs in clothing, fashion, video and accessories — as well as a hyperactive genre of India-inspired electronic music — not only for yoga practice and meditation, but for so-called "ecstatic dance" and other group activities. Over the last 20 years, the international yoga community has come together to create dozens of "transformational festivals" every summer, which provide live performance opportunities for the musicians, along with exercise and spirituality.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, groove-centric, globally percussive, tribal-electronic, Indo-Ambient sounds for transformational festivals, ecstatic dance, yoga and meditation, on a program called PRANA PULSE.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1142 : "ANASTASIS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The timeless theme of death and rebirth
GENRE(s) : Orchestral/Chamber, Sacred/Choral, Spring, Easter
FIRST BROADCAST : 14-Apr-2017
INTRO : The concept of rebirth is a foundational element in many of the world's major religions. A rebirth implies a death — linked events in the eternal cycles of growth and transformation. Underlying the differences in doctrine and practice is the timeless experience of starting over, spiritual renewal, liberation, enlightenment.
The powerful themes of death and rebirth have also been a subject for serious composers for centuries, originally inspired by the rebirth of the natural world in spring, later the Christian celebration of the resurrection of Jesus at Easter, and more recently by contemporary composers of the movement called "mystic minimalism."
On this Easter week transmission of Hearts of Space, we honor the cycle of death and rebirth, on a program called ANASTASIS — the Greek word for "resurrection."

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1143 : "STARSCAPES 2" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : An expansive electronic journey in cosmic space
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 21-Apr-2017
INTRO : From the very beginning, our prehistoric ancestors looked up at the night sky and tried to comprehend the vastness and mystery of the cosmic panorama. Since the invention of the telescope in the 17th century, the challenge has only increased: even the visually observable universe is vast beyond imagination.
Today, our high-tech deep space probes and space telescopes are stretching the boundaries of the universe even farther. Physical cosmology and astrophysics have become scientific speculations on infinite time and space, overlapping the domains of philosophy and religion.
Ambient electronic music can express the scale and mystery of the universe by creating virtual sound images of cosmic worlds for us to travel through. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another deep space journey, on a program called STARSCAPES 2.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1144 : "CONFLATION" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The acoustic piano meets ambient atmospheres
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Electronic Space, Piano, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 28-Apr-2017
INTRO : The solo piano: a sound that's been evolving for over 300 years. It's perfectly happy all by itself, but it also plays exceptionally well with others. Flexible by design, the piano has been a mainstay in classical music and jazz, and a key element in traditional and popular music.
With the arrival of ambient, minimal and new age music in the 1970s, the piano was expanded and dematerialized through studio magic, and combined with ambient and electronic textures to create spatial sound images.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, the acoustic piano meets ambient atmospheres, on a program called CONFLATION.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1145 : "ASIAN WINDS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The gentle world of Chinese and Japanese contemplative music
GENRE(s) : Chinese, Japanese, Spring, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 12-May-2017
INTRO : The contemplative music of China and Japan comes from their classical traditions. In both countries, unique string and wind instruments evolved, along with virtuoso playing techniques. Centuries of patronage by the imperial court produced a classical repertoire.
Today, traditional artists continue to perform the classics and create new pieces, while a new generation of multi-cultural and ambient artists create hybrid variations based on the genres. As with the traditional music, the goal is to immerse the listener in a slow, deep, magical soundscape.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, the gentle world of Chinese and Japanese contemplative music, on a program called ASIAN WINDS.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1146 : "HELIOS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : A tribute to the sun and the summer season
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Electronic Space, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 19-May-2017
INTRO : Let's hear it for The Sun, ladies and gentlemen. It's impossible to think of anything more important—to our very existence, our history, our evolution, and our future as a species. So it's a big subject: the sun is responsible for super-basic stuff like day and night, the year, the weather, and the climate. It's the key to almost all life on earth, the source of all our energy (one way or another), the key ingredient in everything we eat, and the indispensable element in our vacations. I mean, who wants to vacation in the rain?
Astronomically speaking, the sun is our home star, a member of the "yellow dwarf" class. It's 4.6 billion years old, over a hundred times bigger in diameter than earth, and weighs 330,000 times as much, despite being 98% hydrogen and helium—two of the lightest materials in existence. The sun is a bright sphere of superheated plasma; at its core is a nuclear furnace, where fusion of hydrogen atoms creates temperatures of almost 30 million degrees Fahrenheit, while the surface of the sun is a relatively balmy 10,000 degrees. We're 93 million miles away, and it still feels hot.
The sun has been central to many human cultures and religions since prehistoric times. It's been worshipped as a deity and celebrated in myth, art and literature, especially in ancient Egypt. Those days are gone, but ambient electronic artists are still inspired by it. On this transmission of Hearts of Space...a tribute to the sun and its season, on a program called HELIOS.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1147 : "REMINISCENCE" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : A journey in the gardens of memory
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Electronic Space, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 26-May-2017
INTRO : At the top of the list of the things that make us human — along with language and opposable thumbs — is memory. Yet for all our progress in understanding human psychology and neurophysiology, memory remains complex and mysterious. French novelist MARCEL PROUST famously wrote about the enigma of memory and the necessity of reflection in his epic novel Remembrance of Things Past. Today the relentless pace and information density of daily life makes this more necessary than ever.
One of the most enjoyable practices of memory enhancement is personal storytelling, or "reminiscence therapy." It brings families closer together, and has been used to treat older patients with depression, stress, isolation, and degenerative memory disorders including Alzheimer's.
Like perfume and other distinctive smells, some kinds of ambient music can trigger forgotten memories. On this transmission of Hearts of Space from Canadian guest producer DAVID EGAN, we immerse ourselves in the pleasures of sonic nostalgia and recollection, on a program called REMINISCENCE.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1148 : "INNER RHYTHMS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The subtle, psychoactive world of trance music
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Ethno/Ambient, Miscellaneous/Eclectic, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 9-Jun-2017
INTRO : The trance rhythms of the Middle East, Asia and Africa are steady, continuous, and slowly changing. Rather than driving you forward like the ubiquitous military march beats of western rock, they patiently insinuate themselves on your nervous system, steady the breath, slow the pulse, and ultimately...transform your awareness. Psychologists call it "entrainment" or "dissociation." The rest of us call it enchantment, rapture, ecstasy, or euphoria. It's all part of the wide world of trance.
Trance rhythms have been used by priests and shamans in non-western cultures for centuries. More recently they've been rediscovered by western musicians seeking an alternative to conventional beats, used by so-called "minimalist" classical composers, and adopted by experimental musicians around the world for their psychoactive power and popular appeal. Trance is also a major genre of Electronic Dance Music, with mind-altering beats heard on dance floors around the world.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space...we're going to insinuate ourselves on your nervous system — in a good way — with soft summer trance music, on a program called INNER RHYTHMS.

PGM NOTE : The sensual, devotional sound of Indian fusion
GENRE(s) : East Indian, Spring, Summer, World Fusion
FIRST BROADCAST : 16-Jun-2017
INTRO : The sinuous microtonal ornaments of Indian vocal improvisation invite us into another edition of Hearts of Space exploring the gentle, devotional world of Indian Fusion.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space...another installment of one of our longest running series, on a program called PHANTOM INDIA 7. The title comes from a 1969 BBC documentary television series by French film maker LOUIS MALLE.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1150 : "DOWNTIME" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The laidback, expansive world of Ambient/Downtempo
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Spring, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 23-Jun-2017
INTRO : When the definitive book is written on the history of popular electronic music at the end of the 20th century, a solid section will be devoted to the emergence of Downtempo — an alternative to the hyperkinetic beats of the electronic dance floor.
Beginning in companion "chill rooms" at all-night raves, downtempo beats offered dancers a slower, quieter instrumental alternative for rest and renewal. In time it evolved into song-based listening styles like Trip Hop, with influences from electronica, hip hop, jazz and world music. Back in the chill rooms, it wasn't a big stretch for Downtempo DJs to mix in the expansive soundscapes of the other slow electronic music that had been developing since the 1970s. In 1978, BRIAN ENO had given it a name that stuck: Ambient.
The lovechild of Ambient and Downtempo was called, conveniently, Ambient Downtempo. It's proven to be such a fruitful realm for creative development that it's still going strong today. On this transmission of Hearts of Space...an hour of ambient downtempo from then and now, on a program called DOWNTIME. That makes sense because tempo in Italian means time, and downtime is something we all can use a bit more of these days.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1151 : "SUMMER VISIONS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Ambient atmospheres for the perfect summer
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Electronic Space, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 7-Jul-2017
INTRO : Summer...invites us to relax, take a break from work, and have a bit of fun. I know, it's hard to tune out the noise of our contentious politics these days, but even the most ardent partisans need to rest and recharge for the battles ahead. So in summer we travel, we explore, we play, we dance, we celebrate with family and friends.
The music of summer is lighter, happier, more active. And for some ambient composers, it's an opportunity to envision a better world by creating idealized sonic environments. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, ambient atmospheres for the perfect summer, on a program called SUMMER VISIONS.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1152 : "GAMELAN PLUS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The bronze-age soundworld of Indonesia in the west
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Southeast Asian/Indonesian, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 14-Jul-2017
INTRO : Of all the exotic musical cultures in the world, few have been able to charm western composers like the gong/chime music of Indonesia. The magical island of Bali, with its unique Hindu-influenced artistic tradition, has been particularly seductive.
In the mythology of the Javanese people, the metallophonic music of Indonesia was created by the native bronze-age culture almost two thousand years ago. The legendary god-king who ruled Java needed a way to summon the other gods, so he invented the gong. Later, he added other gongs, and thus began the gamelan orchestra. The current form evolved in the royal courts of Java in the 12th century.
Today the gamelan includes gongs, metallophones and xylophones, plus drums, bamboo flutes, spike fiddles, and other instruments. Western composers have added additional percussion instruments, strings, bass guitar, electronics and other modern elements to the traditional gamelan ensemble.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, the new sound of the gamelan in the west, on a program called GAMELAN PLUS.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1153 : "DESERT DREAMFIELDS 2" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Sun-baked realms of deep vistas and elemental spaces
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Ethno/Ambient, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 28-Jul-2017
INTRO : The world's deserts are on the move — growing and getting hotter — one of the consequences of climate change. At the same time, industrial scale solar technology turns desert sunlight into electricity to power the modern world.
So, our relationship to the desert has never been more complex and ironic. It's a place where sun, heat, wind and dust make life an existential challenge for even the strongest organisms. For humans, it's where civilization ends, and we confront the earth at its most elemental — rugged terrain, endless space, extreme conditions, contemplative solitude, eerie silence. No phone, no internet.
For Ambient musicians, the desert has long been a prime source of inspiration, a visual and spatial touchstone. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another journey in vast, sun-baked spaces, on a program called DESERT DREAMFIELDS 2.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1154 : "EQUILIBRIUM 2" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Hypnotic rhythms and exotic melodies of the Middle East
GENRE(s) : Middle Eastern/North African, Spring, Summer, World Fusion
FIRST BROADCAST : 4-Aug-2017
INTRO : The nation-states of the greater Middle East are a contentious group, with a long, complicated history and even longer memories. Spanning some 17 countries from Iran in the east to Turkey in the west, including North Africa, the eastern Mediterranean states, and the Arabian peninsula — the region is riven by political, religious & ethnic conflicts.
Yet the music of the Middle East shows a broad similarity of instruments, scales, rhythms and formats that cut across national boundaries and create a kind of super-cultural unity. Today, progressive middle eastern musicians are promoting a non-political form of communication through their music, bringing together traditional and electronic instruments to create a shared experience of beauty and soulfulness.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another journey in the contemporary Middle Eastern soundscape, on a program called EQUILIBRIUM 2.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1155 : "NOCTURNAL TRANSMISSIONS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Mysterious sounds in the summer night
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 11-Aug-2017
INTRO : Would you believe me if I told you that all the sounds you're hearing are made with an analog synthesizer? Strange but true. It's the work of KEVIN BRAHENY FORTUNE, one of the early masters of long-form electronic ambient music. And it's a good story.
The 1970s were a decade of discovery and development for electronic music. Early analog synthesizer modules by ROBERT MOOG, DON BUCHLA, and SERGE TCHEREPNIN fueled an explosion of creativity. If you were serious, you wound up building your own instruments and creating your own sounds. Then KEVIN BRAHENY (the FORTUNE came later...) was a talented musician and soprano saxophone player in Los Angeles who worked designing and building electronic instruments with several of the early pioneers of analog synthesis in California.
The foundations for Ambient electronic music were being created out of the new possibilities opened up by the synthesizer, and the psychological and social changes inspired by psychedelic drugs. This new sensibility lead to the creation of extended musical "journeys" of 30 minutes or more, which could be released on cassette; later, even longer journeys were possible on CD.
In 1980 Braheny improvised a live 35 minute "lullaby" to close a HEARTS OF SPACE fundraising special on our home station, KPFA-FM in Berkeley. It turned out so well it was released later that year as "Lullaby for the Hearts of Space," along with a composed companion piece called "After I Said Goodnight. " And that's where we begin this edition of Hearts of Space called NOCTURNAL TRANSMISSIONS.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1156 : "BALMY" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Soft breezes and gentle waves for late summer
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 1-Sep-2017
INTRO : The word balmy is used to describe weather so pleasant that it's positively therapeutic. The waning days of summer are mostly warm and idyllic, but they can also bring tropical hurricanes, cyclones, and monsoons, as we saw this week in Texas and Mumbai. So it's a time for that last round of summer fun and relaxation, with an eye on the horizon if you're near the coast.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we'll concentrate on the benign sounds of late summer, on a program called BALMY.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1157 : "ENDLESS SUMMER" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Laidback ambient guitars and electronics for late summer
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Guitar, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 15-Sep-2017
INTRO : Summers are famously long and hot, and in the superheated days of late summer, time seems to expand in front of us. And it's not just because it's the season for natural disasters — we're back to school and back to work, packing new activities into our schedules while memories of summer fun still linger in our minds.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, languid guitars, ethereal electronics and subtle rhythms for the season, on a program called ENDLESS SUMMER. The title comes from a classic 1966 surfing documentary, but it's been repurposed hundreds of times. We'll do the same, from a concept and music research by guest producer DAVID J. EGAN.
Laidback, expansive ambient guitars for the season: ENDLESS SUMMER...on this transmission...of Hearts of Space.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1158 : "EQUILUX" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Calm and balanced acoustic Ambient for early autumn
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Fall, Piano
FIRST BROADCAST : 22-Sep-2017
INTRO : Twice a year, we pass a point of balance and equilibrium in the progression of the seasons. Our planet reaches the place in its celestial journey where the center of the sun rises and sets directly over the equator, and day and night are of approximately equal length everywhere on earth. We call these times the equinox from the Latin for "equal night." A less common but possibly more correct name is equilux or "equal light."
The September equinox marks the beginning of the new season: autumn, and the time of harvest festivals in the northern hemisphere. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, calm and balanced acoustic ambient for the seasonal transition, on a program called EQUILUX.

PGM NOTE : A deep space electronic journey
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Electronic Space, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 6-Oct-2017
INTRO : No one has ever fully explained the relationship between electronic sounds and images of cosmic space. From the earliest experiments with electronic music, composers used it to express the strangeness, vastness and mystery of the cosmos. It was a brand new medium, free from the limitations of historical styles, conventional instruments, and even the laws of acoustics. Space was "the final frontier" and electronics were the vehicle to go there.
Today, electronic musicians around the world command a virtually unlimited set of instruments and resources for creating sound images of our cosmic environment. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another deep space journey on electronic waves, on a program called COSMIC FLIGHT.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1160 : "ARCHAIC CONCERTS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Contemplative music inspired by sounds of ancient times
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, World Fusion, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 13-Oct-2017
INTRO : Hearts of Space was born and raised during the formative years of electronic music in the 1970s and 80s. Because we've been covering the ambient side of its evolution for over forty years, the program has often been associated primarily with electronic music.
But since the very beginning, we've always given almost equal time to traditional, purely acoustic forms of contemplative, space-creating music, as well as "electro-acoustic" hybrids.
The reason was simple: long before electronics, there were centuries of music from dozens of world cultures that not only offered profound listening experiences — they defined and set a standard for what music can be.
To be sure, electronics opened up vast new tonal and expressive dimensions for contemporary music — but we still return to traditional acoustic music, sit in virtual palace halls on ancient nights, and drink from the source of musical language.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, contemplative sounds on venerable acoustic instruments, on a program called ARCHAIC CONCERTS. The title is taken from the 1976 debut album of the unique German musician STEPHAN MICUS, who inspired, and is featured, in this program.
An hour of contemporary acoustic ambient inspired by music from times gone by: ARCHAIC CONCERTS...on this transmission... of Hearts of Space.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1161 : "THE GATHERING DARK" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Electro-acoustic Ambient for the season of fading light
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Electronic Space, Fall, Guitar
FIRST BROADCAST : 20-Oct-2017
INTRO : Well, despite the unseasonably warm temperatures and their sometimes disastrous consequences, one thing in our environment remains absolutely unchanged: the sun and the earth continue reliably tracing their cosmic orbits. And so, for very good astronomical reasons, here in the northern hemisphere the autumn days grow shorter, and the light grows ever dimmer, as we plot our course toward the winter solstice.
The music of the season is measured, calm, with restrained passion and glints of bright color against a darkening background. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we score the season of fading light and falling leaves, on a program called THE GATHERING DARK.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1162 : "MAYAN SKIES" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Magical sound worlds of ancient Mesoamerica
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Ethno/Ambient, Fall
FIRST BROADCAST : 3-Nov-2017
INTRO : Mesoamerica — the southern regions of Mexico and the northern countries of Central America, including parts of Guatemala, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador — is the home of one of the world's great early civilizations: the Maya.
The indigenous culture of the Maya goes back over 3000 years. They were an aggressive, warrior people who practiced animal and human sacrifice, and are hard to romanticize. The Spanish arrived in the 1500s and it was all over by 1697, when the last Maya city surrendered.
The Classic Period of Mayan culture produced highly sophisticated art forms — architecture, sculpture, and painting, as well as astronomy, hieroglyphic writing, and an advanced calendar system. There was no written music, but various Pre-Columbian flutes and wind instruments, drums, rattles, and metallic percussion have come down to us. Starting with these simple traditional instruments, native and western Ambient musicians have created electro-acoustic soundworlds that summon up the shamanistic and ritual spaces of this ancient culture.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a rare journey in the Mesoamerican soundscape, on a program called MAYAN SKIES.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1163 : "PROVENANCE" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Atmospheric ECM jazz from 2016 and 2017
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Space Jazz, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 10-Nov-2017
INTRO : When it comes to lyrical, atmospheric jazz, the German ECM label is in a class by itself. From its inception in 1969 through over 1500 releases, founder and producer MANFRED EICHER established a pristine sound for improvised jazz and for serious composed music on the companion ECM NEW SERIES. Artists and composers come mainly from Europe, plus the U.S., North Africa, Greece, India, Brazil and other countries.
Eicher encouraged experimentation and unique cross-genre collaborations, but even when the music was relatively conventional, ECM jazz recordings always had a generous sense of space and atmosphere. Under Eicher's guidance, many ECM artists went beyond the typical jazz ballad, and explored the slow pace and expanded spaces of ambient music. Both for musical content and sonic quality, ECM recordings have been a key source for Hearts of Space since the very beginning.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, atmospheric ECM jazz from 2016 and 2017, on a program called PROVENANCE.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1164 : "REQUIEM AETERNAM 2" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Sacred and healing spaces of the Requiem Mass
GENRE(s) : Orchestral/Chamber, Sacred/Choral, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 17-Nov-2017
INTRO : For centuries, the sacred spaces and restrained emotions of the Requiem Mass honoring the dead have brought beauty and healing in times of conflict and violence.
The root meaning of requiem is rest, or repose for the soul of the deceased. It's a musical tradition with origins in Medieval times, when a special "funeral mass" was set to Gregorian melodies.
During the Renaissance, composed requiems for unaccompanied a cappella voices were performed at important funeral services. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the requiem expanded into large scale concert works for chorus, orchestra and organ by mainstream composers from MOZART to BERLIOZ. In the 20th century, non-liturgical requiems commemorated wars and victims of tragedies, along with hymns and instrumental elegies, commemorative poems and psalms set to music.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another special program by our longtime guest producer for sacred and classical music ELLEN HOLMES, called REQUIEM AETERNAM 2. The Latin translates as "grant them eternal peace." The "2" refers to Ellen's original "Requiem Aeternam" show from 1987.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1165 : "WINTER SOUL" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Acoustic music to warm the heart and nourish the spirit
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 1-Dec-2017
INTRO : The sweet metallic overtones of the steel string guitar. It's a sound that really comes alive in the clear winter air. But while the guitar is a descendent of the Arabic lute called the oud, the piano, the violin family, most horns and woodwind instruments come to us from the northern countries of Europe. In the long, cold European winters, folk and popular music evolved to provide warmth and comfort.
In the U.S. the acoustic revival of the 1970s and 80s was led by the very popular Windham Hill Records. Today many of these acoustic musicians and producers are still active and creative, along with a new generation of fine acoustic musicians they inspired.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, acoustic sounds to warm the heart and nourish the spirit, on a program called WINTER SOUL.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1166 : "WINTERSTELLAR" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : A winter journey in the electronic starfields
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 8-Dec-2017
INTRO : The long, cold nights and decorative lights of the winter season remind us of the vast cold vacuum of space, with its billions of bright stars, nebulae, and distant galaxies. Our space telescopes now bring us spectacular images of the cosmic panorama; and though we may never be able to "travel to distant worlds" as we do in science fiction, just contemplating the size, age, and composition of the cosmos defines the term "mind-expanding." It's an experience that truly deserves to be called "awesome."
Electronic and ambient musicians bring us another way to experience the cosmos, by creating sonic images of interstellar space. On this transmission of Hearts of Space...a winter journey in the electronic starfields, on a program called WINTERSTELLAR.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1167 : "MYSTIC MINIMALISM" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The rarefied realm of spiritual classicism
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Orchestral/Chamber, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 15-Dec-2017
INTRO : This week we bring you music for the winter holiday season. But instead of the popular hymns and much-loved classical and sacred pieces, we're devoting the program to the contemporary genre variously called "Mystic" "Holy" "Spiritual" or "Sacred" Minimalism.
What makes this music spiritual for its many fans is the psychological effect of its slowly changing repetitions, or the contemplative experience of its deep, slow, consonant tonalities. The poster artist for the genre is Estonian composer ARVO PART; in the last 40 years he has quietly become the most performed classical composer in the world.
Part began as a conventional avant-garde composer writing dissonant 12-tone works, but abandoned all that and created his own radically simple, tonal style. Other maverick composers like ALAN HOVHANESS, JOHN TAVENER, and HENRYK GORECKI also rejected dissonance and created beautiful sacred music; but none had the same impact on other composers as Arvo Part, whose influence today extends beyond classical composers to a host of serious popular, ambient and electronic musicians.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, contemporary spiritual classics, on a program called MYSTIC MINIMALISM. The entire program resides in what we call "the Deep Zone"—a rarefied realm of heightened musical communication and emotional resonance.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1168 : "POLAR FLIGHT 3" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : An electronic journey across the Arctic north
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 5-Jan-2018
INTRO : WINTER DESCENDS, a contractive force that drains the color from the landscape, leaving a world of subtle monochromes, softened by chilled blue-gray mist and fog. As the temperature drops, movement slows, challenging every species to adapt and survive, while winter storms bring cutting winds, freezing rain, sleet, and the white fantasy world of snow.
Winter inspires Ambient musicians to change their tonal palette and create sonic images of cold wind and stormy skies. The sound of the season is darker, denser, colder, slower—with restrained melodies and crystalline accents. It's native territory for musicians from the northern countries of Europe, Iceland, Canada, and kindred spirits in the United States.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a journey across the Arctic north, on a program called POLAR FLIGHT 3.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1169 : "NORDIC WINTER SONGS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Medieval hymns and folk songs from Scandinavia and northern Europe
GENRE(s) : Scandinavian/Arctic, Winter, World Fusion
FIRST BROADCAST : 19-Jan-2018
INTRO : There's a fine line between the epic folk songs and the medieval hymns of Scandinavia and far northern Europe. In the Middle Ages, the folk ballads and the sacred music of the early Christian church evolved from the same mix of cultures, addressed the same audiences, and employed some of the same instruments—like the 8 or 9 stringed Hardanger fiddle and the Baltic box zither called the Kantele. Warm and melodic with vibrant string overtones and beguiling vocals, traditional Nordic music creates the perfect atmosphere on cold winter nights.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space...the brilliant cold world sounds of Norway, Sweden and Iceland, on a program called NORDIC WINTER SONGS.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1170 : "MAGIC METALS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The psychoactive sound of gongs, bells and bowls
GENRE(s) : Miscellaneous/Eclectic, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 26-Jan-2018
INTRO : Locked in the cold embrace of winter, under leaden clouds relieved by dazzling clear days, we return once again to the otherworldly sounds of the resonant percussion family — bells, bowls, gongs and cymbals.
Developed over thousands of years by native cultures in Tibet, the Far East and Indonesia, gongs and bells were used primarily in religious ceremonies, and later for utilitarian purposes like broadcasting the time.
In the 20th century, they were rediscovered in the west as a vehicle for meditation and sonic journeys. These sublime metal instruments are unequalled in subtlety and psychoactive power. In the hands of a dedicated contemplative musician, they create sounds that live in the profound realm we call The Deep Zone.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a wintry resonant percussion journey, on a program called MAGIC METALS.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1171 : "CLOUD GUITARS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : A misty winter journey for ambient/electronic guitars
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Guitar, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 2-Feb-2018
INTRO : Let's hear it, ladies and gentlemen, for the slow-moving, high altitude, floating sound of the electric guitar. Born in the 1930s for parity with drums and horns in jazz bands, and greatly expanded in the 1950s and 60s with the discovery of techniques like feedback and overdrive, with the help of psychedelics the humble Spanish guitar was transformed into a vehicle for exploring distant soundworlds—the musical equivalent of the mission of the Starship Enterprise.
The last half of the 20th century brought dozens of electronic "effects"—EQ, compression, echo, reverb, phasing, distortion—and in the 21st century, software algorithms for ever more sophisticated transformations. Today the electronically enhanced guitar can create anything from diffuse ambient tone paintings to epic soundscapes, to something unnamed and unrecognizable...as a guitar.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another expansive journey in the ambient guitar universe, on a program called CLOUD GUITARS.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1172 : "THE TRANSCENDENT PIANO" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The delicate world of the contemplative piano
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Piano, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 16-Feb-2018
INTRO : With its bell-like high notes, rich bass tones, subtle touch dynamics, and endless chordal, melodic and rhythmic possibilities—the piano is indispensable for many genres of contemporary music. In the 35 year history of the national Hearts of Space program, we've done more than 50 shows focused on the piano. The guitar may be the world's most popular instrument, but for range, versatility and personal expression, the piano takes the prize.
When played with sensitivity and imagination, the acoustic piano alone is capable of taking us into rarified spaces. Today in Europe, a new generation of classically trained, technically creative and musically talented Ambient musicians are exploring minimalist trance patterns, combining the piano with traditional chamber instruments, extending it with electronics, and transporting the instrument into new dimensions of contemplative sound experience.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a program of recent discoveries called THE TRANSCENDENT PIANO.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1173 : "HIMALAYAN DREAMSCAPES" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : A neo-Tibetan journey to the "roof of the world"
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Tibetan, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 23-Feb-2018
INTRO : It must be one of the strangest sounds in all the world's religions: deep guttural chanting over percussive chaos. In fact it's Tibetan monks chanting Buddhist sutras or holy scriptures, against a wild background of metallic percussion and 15-foot long horns. Unlikely though it might seem, this ancient and remote Asian mountain culture has been the inspiration for western electronic musicians to create a distinctive kind of Tribal-Ambient travel music.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a journey to the metaphoric "roof of the world" on a program called HIMALAYAN DREAMSCAPES.

PGM NOTE : Another cosmic-electronic journey to deep space
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 2-Mar-2018
INTRO : In the beginning...was the void. Endless, empty, dark, silent.
Then—depending on your preference to believe — either God created the heavens and all within it, OR....there was a very Big Bang, which began the evolution of everything we now call The Universe.
Some time later...electronic and ambient musicians were moved to create sonic images of our still boundless, but no longer empty cosmos, with what we like to call Spacemusic. It's a vehicle for virtual travel to the stars and beyond—at least until SpaceX can take your body there.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another comic-electronic journey, on a program called GALACTIC TRAVELER 2.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1175 : "THE ENCHANTED HARP" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : An enchanting excursion in the Celtic soundscape
GENRE(s) : Celtic, Spring, St. Patrick's Day
FIRST BROADCAST : 16-Mar-2018
INTRO : It's fitting that we celebrate St. Patrick's Day in March, when we can either be enduring the final insults of winter, or enjoying the gentle rains, green leaves and pink blossoms of spring. Whatever the weather, Celtic music can rise to the occasion. Of all the world's folk musics, the Celtic tradition is one of the most extensive in range and varied in emotional expression. From heroic marches to joyous dances, from melancholy dirges to heart-rending ballads — Celtic music reflects the panorama of human feeling.
The Celtic revival of the 1980s and 90s brought new attention to the genre, and motivated native Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Bretagne musicians to new heights, while many other nationalities of Celtic descent were inspired to extend the boundaries of the genre, leading to a kind of golden era for Celtic music.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another excursion in the Celtic soundscape, on a program called THE ENCHANTED HARP.

You might play it like a conventional acoustic instrument with a distinctive tone; or you might invent entirely new kinds of music, free from the physical limitations of breath, bow, vibrating strings, resonant tubes, stretched skins and skilled fingers/ that defined traditional music for centuries.
Something like this actually happened to musicians beginning early in the 20th century. Along with recording technology, electronic music started a revolution we still haven't heard the end of a century later — a world of hundreds of new electronic genres, from so called IDM or Intelligent Dance Music, to an almost endless array of contemplative electronic sounds for solitary experience and "deep listening."
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we focus on electronic music for virtual travel, on a program called ELECTRON TRAVELER 3.

PGM NOTE : Russian Orthodox and contemporary sacred choral music at Easter
GENRE(s) : Sacred/Choral, Easter
FIRST BROADCAST : 30-Mar-2018
INTRO : The sublime tradition of Russian Orthodox sacred choral music begins with ancient Byzantine chants and comes to full magnificence with the influence of Western classical music. In the great mixed choirs, ethereal and earthy sonorities magically combine with images of radiant light and extended prayers of fervent supplication, transporting the listener to realms beyond worldly cares.
On this Easter season transmission of Hearts of Space from longtime guest producer for sacred and classical music ELLEN HOLMES — a program called DIVINE LIGHT.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1178 : "BIOSONIC 2" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The organic sound in ambient electronica
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 13-Apr-2018
INTRO : Exploring the remote tributaries of the great river of ambient sound, we come upon music inspired by the natural world and the micro-organisms that inhabit it. Recent research shows that the so-called "micro-biome" — the vast community of microbes in the environment, in animals, and in us — is essential for life.
According to musician ROBERT RICH "we imagine ourselves to be individuals, but in fact we're a collective, a network of organisms with a unique microbiome of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and organelles." Rich calls it "the Biode, a biomic node, the gathering place where a community of organisms combines to become a unit of individuality."
For these ambient musicians, the Biode inspires electro-acoustic metaphors of the natural world, a complex, inter-dependent community of sounds. I'm STEPHEN HILL and on this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, the organic sound in ambient electronics, on a program called BIOSONIC 2.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1179 : "TRANCE PLANET 2" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The mesmerizing sound of the Hang and the Halo handpan
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Miscellaneous/Eclectic, Spring
FIRST BROADCAST : 27-Apr-2018
INTRO : SPRING: it arrives in the Northern Hemisphere in fits and starts. It takes several months before we're all on the spring page. In the meantime, we can take a hint from our pagan ancestors, who went in for big parties around the vernal equinox to let the gods know they were ready for spring.
In those days, drummers got everyone moving around the communal bonfires. These days, hand drummers tap out mesmerizing rhythms on new melodic percussion instruments like the PanArt Hang and the Halo handpans. On this transmission of Hearts of Space...we follow the sound of the Hang, on an ethno-tronic journey for spring called TRANCE PLANET 2.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1180 : "FLOATING WINDS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Acoustic winds meet ambient electronics
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Spring, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 4-May-2018
INTRO : One of the most seductive musical combinations is the soft cry of a wind instrument — in this case, a soprano saxophone — floating high and free above a cushion of electronic sound. It's a combination that brings out the best of its parts: the melodic, emotional expression of the horn; the spacious sonic architecture of an ambient electronic soundfield.
Winds with electronics are relatively new, but the sound of a primitive flute or horn resonating in acoustic space goes back to the cave homes of our earliest ancestors. It's a formative sound experience in the evolution of the ambient sensibility, revived in the 1960s by clarinetist TONY SCOTT in MUSIC FOR ZEN MEDITATION, and by flutist PAUL HORN in his classic recording INSIDE THE TAJ MAHAL.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we explore the happy combination of acoustic winds and ambient electronics, on a program called FLOATING WINDS.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1181 : "CONFESSIONS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Intimate songs of love, loss and longing
GENRE(s) : Latin American, Mediterranean, Spanish/Moorish, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 11-May-2018
INTRO : CONFESSION...it's simple in theory: to tell the truth. In practice? It's more complicated.
Confession plays a critical role in the justice system, in religion, in therapeutic and personal relationships. And at a time when the very idea of objective facts and truth is being challenged, confession is more important than ever.
A true confession is a revelation — a release of hidden knowledge. And it's often accompanied by powerful, even cathartic, emotions. No wonder confessional songs and music are found in some of the oldest cultures on earth.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space...the quiet sound of emotional truth, on a program called CONFESSIONS.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1182 : "FLOWING INTO SPRING 4" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Riding the vernal breezes into the season
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Electronic Space, Spring
FIRST BROADCAST : 25-May-2018
INTRO : Back in 1975, a Northern California steel string guitarist named WILL ACKERMAN began playing and selling cassettes of his music around the Stanford University campus. It was so popular it led to the founding of Windham Hill Records in 1976 — the first big success of the music trend that came to be called New Age Music in the 1980s.
Instrumental, acoustic, and generally low key, Windham Hill literally became the poster child for a grab-bag genre that became ever more unfocussed as it grew—a category for anything that wasn't jazz or folk, rock or pop. But it served a need for quiet, relaxing, meditative instrumental music that continues today.
In time the New Age Music category became so diverse as to be almost meaningless. Home studios, inexpensive publishing on cassette and later CD, meant that anyone could release their music, and the genre's reputation deteriorated to the point that serious producers of atmospheric music called theirs Ambient, Electronic, or just about anything else.
Yet — in the last few years, the New Age genre has seen a critical reconsideration, with carefully curated compilations of historical material, while both veterans and descendants of the genre are creating new music that merits serious attention. A good example is the group FLOW, which includes none other than steel string guitarist WILL ACKERMAN, in a kind of New Age "supergroup."
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we ride the vernal breezes into the gentle sound of the season, on a program called FLOWING INTO SPRING 4.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1184 : "BEYOND THE RAGASPHERE" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Contemplative Indian raga and East-West hybrids
GENRE(s) : East Indian, Spring, Summer, World Fusion
FIRST BROADCAST : 15-Jun-2018
INTRO : Slow and gentle, the harmonic drone and the ancient bansuri flute invite us to another journey in the contemplative music of India. Half a world and centuries away from European practice, Indian classical music developed in its own unique way. It focused on melody and rhythm rather than harmony, evolved a sophisticated framework for improvisation in live performance called raga, and a set of rhythm rules called tala.
The goal of raga is to create mood, atmosphere and feeling for the listener. And though Indian music once sounded impossibly strange and exotic to European ears, as a result of the tireless touring of Indian virtuosi like RAVI SHANKAR and ALI AKBAR KHAN, it was embraced in the 20th century by Western avant garde and experimental musicians, and later by others exploring the new frontiers of electronic music. Building on the sounds, instruments and strategies of Indian raga, they created new hybrids of Eastern and Western music which are still being explored today.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a journey in the creative world of Indian fusion, on a program called BEYOND THE RAGASPHERE.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1185 : "COSMIC TRAVELER 2" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Electronic meditations on space and motion
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 22-Jun-2018
INTRO : Since the earliest days of popular electronic music, artists have created sonic images of cosmic space. Where traditional instruments failed, synthesizers seemed right at home in the endless vacuum of the interstellar void. Exploring this vast environment led to a kind of traveling music of slowly changing rhythmic loops — originally made on hardware "sequencers," later on dedicated "loopers," and now with software. Invented in Berlin in the 1970s by German artists like KLAUS SCHULZE and TANGERINE DREAM, the "Berlin school" style was widely influential and still has descendants today.
Extending the metaphor of cosmic travel, once you arrived at your destination, it was time to power down the propulsive rhythms and experience the awesome cosmic panorama. This led to a slower, quieter, beatless electronic music for floating in space — static and contemplative, the progenitor of Chill.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, electronic meditations on space and motion, on a program called COSMIC TRAVELER 2.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1186 : "TRIBAL AMBIENT" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Electronic atmospheres meet trance percussion
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Ethno/Ambient, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 29-Jun-2018
INTRO : It's not all that often that a new strain of popular electronic music arrives in the culture fully formed, but it happened in 1988/ in the wake of STEVE ROACH's ground-breaking album DREAMTIME RETURN. Like Stravinsky 75 years earlier with The Rite of Spring, Roach realized that electronic music needed a dose of primitive energy and physicality — and he found it in the trance-inducing music of the aboriginal tribes of Australia.
The new genre was called "Techno-Tribal" and it combined electronic atmospheres with primitive rattles, drums, rocks, and the Aboriginal didgeridoo. If our current political tribalism is an index of popularity, tribal music should be all the rage. But most electronic artists are urban, and have been influenced by Electronic Dance Music.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, electronic atmospheres meet trance percussion, on a program called TRIBAL AMBIENT.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1187 : "DESERT SOUL 2" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Nostalgic exile music of the Middle East and North Africa
GENRE(s) : Middle Eastern/North African, Spring, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 13-Jul-2018
INTRO : Over the last 35 years we've broadcast some 31 programs inspired by the evocative, intensely moving music of North Africa and the Middle East. And almost every time, I've added a disclaimer that these programs have nothing to do with the contentious politics of the region. After all, these are some of the oldest cultures on earth, with complex, artistically evolved musical traditions. But in one sense, politics has made a difference. The political ferment has led to a diaspora of hundreds of the region's best musicians, who now live and work in France, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Canada, and the U.S.
From the relative safety and stability of western cities, nostalgia for their homelands has produced what poet HAKIM BEY memorably called "romantic transcultural exile music of the Middle East." These creative fusions of Arabic, North African, Persian and electronic music stand as living examples of cultural tolerance and communication.
I'm Stephen Hill and on this transmission of Hearts of Space, we return to the superheated spaces of the Middle East and North Africa, on a program called DESERT SOUL 2.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1188 : "SUMMERTONES 3" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Gentle, airy summer spacemusic
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 20-Jul-2018
INTRO : Believe it or not, the combination of ambient nature sounds and electronic music was actually an innovation in the 1970s. And you may be surprised that the idea had a history in European classical music, especially in England and France.
In England, it was the so-called "pastoral" composers like ARNOLD BAX and RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS, who created orchestral images of nature. In France, it was the Impressionists, from CLAUDE DEBUSSY to OLIVIER MESSIAEN. They didn't have recordings, so they created new instruments and playing techniques to imitate natural sounds like wind and birdsongs.
By the mid-20th century, we could record the sounds of nature, edit them and play them back at will. In the 1950s, avant-garde composers like JOHN CAGE were promoting an awareness of ambient sound as equal to music. Music...was how you listened. Incorporating nature sounds into music was the next step; beside, film soundtracks had been doing it for years.
The psychology is foundational: humans evolved listening to natural sounds, and they send a message we respond to instinctively. For example: birdsong on a gentle summer morning is delightful and calming; blend in some subtle synthesizers, season with gourmet reverberation and you have what two young Canadians named MYCHAEL DANNA and TIM CLEMENT called "environmental electronic music."
It's an idea that was embraced by New Age musicians and in time became a bit of a cliche. But it led to an electronic genre of extended tone-color journeys in virtual space, which is still alive and well. On this transmission of Hearts of Space...the fluid, airy sound of summer spacemusic, on a program called SUMMERTONES 3.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1189 : "DEEP DUB" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Psychetronic descendants of Jamaican Dub
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Electronic Space, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 27-Jul-2018
INTRO : The history of Jamaican Dub music is rich and fascinating. Dub grew out of reggae in the 1960s, and evolved well beyond its popular parent. It was a studio craft where producers created instrumental remixes of reggae tracks by removing the vocals, adding echo, reverb and delay, and dubbing in new ambient sounds. Essentially, dub was an early form of popular electronic music.
If you think all this had something to do with cannabis, you'd be understating the case. In a 1982 essay, LUKE EHRLICH said: "With dub, Jamaican music spaced out completely. If reggae is Africa in the New World, then dub must be Africa on the moon; it's the psychedelic music I expected to hear in the 1960s...and didn't. The bass and drums conjure up a dark, vast musical portrait of outer space, with sounds suspended like glowing planets or the fragments of instruments careening by, leaving trails like comets and meteors."
Dub was a natural link to later electronic genres like techno, ambient, trip hop and electronic dance music. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, the trancey beats of Jamaican Dub and its electronic descendants, on a program from guest producer DAVID J. EGAN called DEEP DUB.

PGM NOTE : The dark harmonies of Spanish fusion and Flamenco
GENRE(s) : Guitar, Spanish/Moorish, Spring, Summer
FIRST BROADCAST : 10-Aug-2018
INTRO : Only a few places can claim a native music with worldwide popularity, but the province of Andalusia in southern Spain is one. With roots going back to medieval times, in the late 18th century a rare fusion of Moorish, Christian, Sephardic Jewish and Gypsy cultures gave birth to the fiery rhythms and dark harmonies of flamenco. This is the culture that gave us the Spanish guitar — a descendant of the Arabic lute called the oud. For sheer cultural impact, it's a record that's hard to beat.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space...contemporary Spanish fusions and the soulful music of Andalusia, on a program called IN A SPANISH MOOD.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1191 : "ENVIRONMENTS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The pioneering natural sound Environments series of IRV TEIBEL
GENRE(s) : Artist Special, Miscellaneous/Eclectic, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 7-Sep-2018
INTRO : IRV TEIBEL was an innovator and entrepreneur who created the ENVIRONMENTS series of ambient sound recordings in the 1970s. He perfected the concept of functional therapeutic background sound, once comparing his recordings to "a bar of soap." Teibel realized that nature sounds had a soothing, calming, restorative quality, so he concentrated on ocean waves, flowing streams, birds, insects, wind and rain. Listening to nature sounds takes us back to pre-industrial, pre-electronic media times, where we spent hours every day immersed in natural sound environments. In fact, it's fair to say that our stereoscopic hearing system evolved to guide, position, and protect us in the natural environment.
With characteristic bravado, Teibel called his one-man record label SYNTONIC RESEARCH. His obsessive persistence, technical talent, genius for branding and marketing, and over-the-top, buzzword-filled copywriting led to the first commercially successful series of ambient sound recordings. The debut release in 1969 was an ocean recording, which he branded "The Psychologically Ultimate Seashore." Against all odds, it was a hit—picked up by a major label and sold millions, which gave him the freedom to expand his idea into a series. Teibel wasn't a purist; when he couldn't get a real ocean recording that fit his concept, he turned to a scientist friend at Bell Labs and created it electronically on an early IBM mainframe.
Until recently, his work was an almost forgotten artifact of the 1970s. But according to a profile by CARA GIAIMO at atlasobscura.com, Teibel was the transition between the 1960s era of Muzak, "mood music" and cheesy sound effects records, and the 1980s era of New Age atmospherics, Ambient music and Brian Eno. And, not coincidentally, Hearts of Space.
The original ENVIRONMENTS LPs and later CDs were out of print for years, but recently they appeared on the full-catalog streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music. Not only that — thanks to new age sound historian DOUGLAS McGOWAN and the NUMERO GROUP reissue label, you can now buy the complete ENVIRONMENTS catalog of 22 long-form ambient nature recordings for just $2.99 as an app — making the experience affordable, personal, portable and accessible, even when you're offline. It's so effortless to play them in the app that it encourages more use, experimentation, and appreciation. How cool is that?
On this transmission of Hearts of Space...a celebration of the pioneering ambient sound recordings of IRV TEIBEL and Syntonic Research, on a program called ENVIRONMENTS. We'll feature selections from 16 of the ENVIRONMENTS series recordings, tracking the sounds of a day from dawn to night and beyond, into contemplative environments for digital bells and choral voices. The gentle world of natural ambient sound: ENVIRONMENTS...on this transmission...of Hearts of Space.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1192 : "MINIMAL GROOVE" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Time-warping rhythms and ambient atmospheres
GENRE(s) : Ambient/Downtempo, Contemporary Instrumental, Ethno/Ambient, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 14-Sep-2018
INTRO : What's in a groove? In music the term usually describes a repeating rhythm pattern that creates a cycle of movement and a sense of propulsion. The word has been used in jazz since the 1930's, but grooves have been key to dance music around the world for centuries, and are an element of many popular genres.
Swiss musician DON LI has taken the concept farther, working with what he calls "curved rhythms" and subtle changes in phrasing that create changing perceptions of time and space. His work is often described as "reductive" or "minimal."
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we explore minimal rhythms and ambient patterns, on a program called MINIMAL GROOVE.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1193 : "FLOATING WORLDS 2" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Another anti-gravity journey on electronic waves
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 21-Sep-2018
INTRO : One of the core experiences of ambient and electronic spacemusic is the feeling of weightless floating. These subtle sounds seem to dematerialize us, expand our personal space, and slow our sense of time. It's kind of magical — and for many of us, highly pleasurable, even addictive.
Since the introduction of mass-produced electronic instruments in the 1970s, anyone can create floating textures, but even if you're just a listener, the experience is widely enjoyed and often described in therapeutic terms as relaxing, healing, and transformative.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another anti-gravity journey on electronic waves, on a program called FLOATING WORLDS 2.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1194 : "EAST MEETS NORTH" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Sublime Persian songs, Norwegian church music and jazz
GENRE(s) : Artist Special, Sacred/Choral, World Fusion, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 12-Oct-2018
INTRO : In 35 years of Hearts of Space, there have only been a handful of occasions when we devoted an entire program to a single album or composition. This week we do it again with a superb collaboration between Iranian singer MAHSA VAHDAT and Norway's 50 voice SKRUK CHOIR, under the direction of PER ODDVAR HILDRE, with music and arrangements by the great Norwegian pianist TORD GUSTAVSEN, from the album I VINENS SPEIL—In the Mirror of Wine.
It's a journey across time, space, and culture, a moving encounter between traditional Persian songs, Norwegian church music, and jazz. A program called EAST MEETS NORTH, on this transmission of Hearts of Space.

PGM NOTE : Falling into the electronic autumn soundscape
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Fall
FIRST BROADCAST : 19-Oct-2018
INTRO : This could be the sound of the Sugar Plum Fairies in the netherworld — we're coming up on Nutcracker time, after all — but no: it's the on-ramp to a journey into the cooling, darkening, deepening autumn soundscape. It's time to join the animals and prepare for the long winter ahead; time to focus, plan and complete those lingering projects, and get together with friends you missed over the summer.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a seasonal electronic journey in the autumn soundscape, on a program called DESCENDING DARK 2.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1196 : "GHOSTLY SHADOWS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : A gloomy-stormy-floaty dark ambient journey for Halloween
GENRE(s) : Electronic Space, Fall, Halloween
FIRST BROADCAST : 26-Oct-2018
INTRO : Halloween comes at the end of October, a very different celebration of the dark side of the human psyche. It's the time we willingly immerse ourselves in stories of death, fear, the supernatural...and the myths and rituals we create around them.
Credit for the tradition generally goes to our Celtic ancestors, who combined the old pagan harvest celebration of Samhain—and its exciting nighttime bonfires—with the three-part Christian festival of Allhallowtide: a mournful commemoration of recently departed souls, saints and martyrs, whose spirits were said to wander the earth at this time of year in search of...hospitality.
These traditions are a rich creative field for musicians of the "Dark Ambient" genre. They weave together deep drones, disembodied voices, melancholy wailing, frigid bells, and gloomy strings—with a dark galaxy of powerful electronic and environmental effects to create truly epic electro-acoustic worlds—soundtracks to films you'd rather hear...than see.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a gloomy-stormy-floaty Dark Ambient journey, on a program by Canadian guest producer DAVID J. EGAN called: GHOSTLY SHADOWS.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1197 : "TWILIGHT EARTH 4" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : An Indian Summer journey for Native American cedar flute
GENRE(s) : Fall, Native American
FIRST BROADCAST : 9-Nov-2018
INTRO : The dulcet tones of the Native American cedar flute have inspired a soothing sub-genre of contemplative music. Pioneered by native musicians from the American Southwest, over the last 30 years the genre has attracted non-native musicians, who expanded into electronics and exotic percussion. It's a sound we enjoy in the fall, when it complements the mellow light and withering colors of the landscape, and evokes the vast, echoing canyons of the high desert.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, an Indian Summer journey for Native American cedar flute, on a program called TWILIGHT EARTH 4.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1198 : "LITTLE ETERNITIES" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : The sublime sound of timeless ambient
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Electronic Space, Orchestral/Chamber, Non-Seasonal
FIRST BROADCAST : 16-Nov-2018
INTRO : You may be surprised to learn that in philosophy, there are two kinds of eternity: one exists outside of time; the other exists within time but is of indefinite duration. That kind of eternal is called sempiternity or everlastingness.
Whichever kind of eternity you prefer, the idea of something that goes on forever, endless and infinite, has a powerful psychological appeal in an age of rapid, constant, disorienting change. It's a radical absolute—one of the few concepts religion, science and philosophy share; and more therapeutically, a place where our overburdened minds can go to rest.
Inspired by these heady speculations, contemporary composers have sought to create a kind of timeless music. Whether acoustic or electronic or both, it creates a sense of unlimited time in musical space. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we seek the timeless...on a program called LITTLE ETERNITIES.

HEARTS of SPACE PGM 1199 : "WINTER STRINGS" (59:00)
PGM NOTE : Neo-classical contemplative music from Northern Europe
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Orchestral/Chamber, Winter
FIRST BROADCAST : 30-Nov-2018
INTRO : December arrives on the heels of the Thanksgiving holiday, and we settle into winter in earnest. From the chilly forest countries of northern Europe—Germany, Poland, Ukraine, England and Estonia—comes a post-modern neo-classical music that's traditionally tonal and modal, warm, slow and contemplative. It's a deliberate step away from the old avant-garde frontiers of atonality and serialism to a style that's spiritually resonant and broadly popular.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a program called WINTER STRINGS.
