Ambient Jazz - Contemplative


"Clear blues, bright whites, deep spaces"
This is the current week's one hour program by Hearts of Space Radio Show, for the weekend of June 21-23, 2013 (Summer Solstice). Music has been split to MP3s at VBR, and voiceovers have been suppressed.

Program notes by Stephen Hill, Producer
New Age Music, ladies and gentlemen: has there ever been a more inappropriate name for a music genre? Whether you love the name or hate it, you have to ask: what were they thinking? The category sweeps up all kinds of music and typically is criticized for being too sweet, too easy, too predictable, even too relaxing. And while that's sometimes the case, like anything else in art and life, you can find some exceptional things in the New Age genre: music with sublime melodies, subtle psychoactive soundscapes, or both. One of our jobs is to help you find those exceptional things. On this transmission of Hearts of Space we aim to do that, on a seasonal program called SUMMER SKIES.
