Hearts of Space for April 14, 2008
10:30 PM - 11:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: SUSPENSION
Floating through the long transition between winter and spring...in times of uncertainty, we hold back, restrain action, and wait. Patience and experience help us endure the time. We relax, observe the signs, quietly mark the changes, remain ready for what comes next.
In music, a suspension is an extended tone connecting one chord with the following chord, often marked by a temporary dissonance. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, a floating journey for a time of transition and temporary dissonance called SUSPENSION
Hearts of Space brings you the ancient resonances of drums, bells, and flutes, the exotic tones of gongs and gamelans, and the digital sounds of the new Ambient frontier. As it moves into its third decade, the program continues to chronicle the best of the contemplative sound experience, with spacemusic from near and far out.
Hearts of Space grew out of producer Stephen Hill’s fascination with space-creating, contemplative music. Beginning in the early 1970s, Hill hosted a weekly late-night radio program in the San Francisco Bay area. What began purely as a labor of love eventually became the most popular contemporary music program on public radio. Over the intervening quarter century, Hearts of Space evolved into a multifaceted production and broadcast company encompassing radio, record production, and internet streaming.
