INTRO: Now there's a sound that's sure to warm the heart of any aficionado of vintage analog electronics and classic tape loop echo: the seminal German band TANGERINE DREAM from their celebrated 1974 album Phaedra.

With a name inspired by a then-popular brand of LSD, Tangerine Dream, or T.DREAM to their legions of fans over the last 40 plus years, has probably done more to influence composers of instrumental ambient, space, and electronic dance music than anyone else, in a career that includes almost 100 albums, over 80 compilations, 39 film scores, and hundreds of live concerts all over the world.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a retrospective look at highlights of an epic career that's still going strong, called TANGERINE DREAMING.

The only constant of Tangerine Dream has been founder EDGAR FROESE. Under his direction, the group has navigated over three dozen personnel changes and still been amazingly productive. Striking out from the Berlin art school scene in 1967, Froese and his early colleagues KLAUS SCHULZE, CONRAD SCHNITZLER, CHRISTOPHER FRANKE, PETER BAUMANN, and later JOHANNES SCHMOELLING and PAUL HASLINGER, charted just the right course between electronic experimentation, ambient atmospherics, 'classical' minimalism, and melodic popular music.

They must have been doing something right, because they took off in the early 1970s and have burned brightly for over 30 years. Writer JOHN BUSH says "the recordings of Tangerine Dream had the greatest impact on the widest variety of instrumental music during the 1980s and '90s, from the most atmospheric new age and space music to the harshest abrasions of electronic dance."

With almost 40 years of music to choose from, there's just no way to sum up T.DREAM in an hour, and we're not going to try. So this show is a collection of mostly early pieces (and some 1980s film music) from the era when the dream of unlimited electronic sound, fuelled by mind-expanding chemistry, ambition and commerce, inspired artists to swing for the galaxies with their music. Even if they never got to Alpha Centauri, they pushed the envelope a long, long way.

INTRO: You're listening to PAUL HASLINGER's tribute to late 1950s space-age exotica, a genre popularized by creative, eclectic arrangers like MARTIN DENNY and JUAN-GARCIA ESQUIVEL.

Lovingly revived in the early 1990s under the banner "Space Age Bachelor Pad Music" or just "Space Age Pop," its influences are still with us in the quietly expanding genres of Chill, Downtempo, Ambient Lounge and other variants of laid-back electronic exotica.

The appeal is clear: a nice cold cocktail, some cool beats and ambient electronics makes a perfectly relaxing space for socializing. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a retro-future-ambient-lounge journey called TIKITRONICA. Turn it up and call your friends...

INTRO: If spring is the season of hope, then it is fitting that in the spring of this 1999 Millenium year, Sony Classical released an album by New York composer JONATHAN ELIAS titled THE PRAYER CYCLE. This week we devote the entirety of this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE to this extraordinary recording.

JONATHAN ELIAS is best known for his work as a composer of music for television commercials and feature films. But nothing in his resume would have hinted at the scope or the depth of this project, which Elias undertook in the period immediately before the birth of his first child. "I was excited by the possibilities for my child," he says, "but I also felt anxiety and sadness about the world she was about to enter. With all the wondrous advances of mankind, it was painful to acknowledge the other defining characteristic of the 20th century, which is more calculated and cold-blooded than any other period of recorded history. Is man's inhumanity to man as common in our nature as other forms of survival? With these thoughts and concerns, I began to write THE PRAYER CYCLE."

Time of Transition

INTRO: Four times a year, the seasons turn. The changes can be subtle or dramatic. These are the times of transition in the natural world — the original, the most pervasive, various and far-reaching ambient soundscapes of them all.

Societies and cultures go through their own transitions. Sometimes they're welcomed; more often, they are resisted, even feared. In nature, the wise, the lucky, and the flexible evolve and learn to adapt.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we ride the receding energy of summer as it descends into fall, on a program called TIME OF TRANSITION.

Wistful

INTRO: After the fiery days of summer, a spacefan's ear retunes to the mellowing notes and darkening tone colors of autumn. As the sun withdraws and the days grow short, it's time for some laid-back ambient jazz.

It's hard to say what makes it ambient. Jazz is generally all about dialogue between great players, but some of them have a contemplative bent, and a taste for larger, slower, deeper spaces. Above all, they listen...for the spaces between the notes.

Shadowfall 3

INTRO: No season brings more mixed emotions than autumn. Reluctantly, we say goodbye to the warm, relaxing, active days of summer. It's back to work — and there's extra work to prepare for the coming winter.

The nights grow cool, then cold, and with them the first storms of the season arrive with life-giving rain — ironically at the very time much of the natural world is withering and dying. In a final irony, nature celebrates with a passing show of wildly intense colors...a complex palette of reds, oranges, ochres, browns, golds, maroons and purples.

The music of the season embraces these contrasts and contradictions, from resolute activity to melancholy resignation. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, an ambient electronic journey for autumn called SHADOWFALL 3.

Cool...

Today's free transmission (until midnight) on Hearts of Space has introduced me to a new-to-me group of musicians from Australia and Ireland called Dead Can Dance. Can anyone guide me to more information or music by them?

[Menolly]

While I have no idea if this is music jelerak enjoys, the program made me think of him and his move away from "home."

Gather 'round all you swamp fans. This one's for you. Yes, the great Mississippi Delta, home of deep Southern blues, Cajun, Dixieland, jazz, funk (and let's-not-forget "sludge metal") is callin' you, on a program called BAYOU MOON.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we wade into a hot and humid zone with a unique culture and a sense of place you can feel on your skin. Like a thick mist drifting out of the marsh, wetlands and barrier islands, bayou country has its own ambience, a sound that blends blues, creole, Indian, Cajun and jazz... and seasons it with a heavy coat of swamp sauce. It's one of the most distinctive cultural blends you'll find anywhere.

Streaming for free today only (August 25th) until midnight, PDT.

[jelerak]

Thanks for thinking about me! I got to go back to NOLA for this weekend, Just flew back in today...

I will check this out!

This week's free stream with free account at hos.com until midnight tonight:

January 2015 would be the 100th birthday of DR. JOHN C. LILLY, one of the true visionaries of 20th-century science. Lilly's life and work at the frontiers of human knowledge embraces the major themes of 20th-century bioscience. In his 86 years, Lilly made significant contributions to psychology, brain research, computer theory, medicine, ethics, dolphinology, and interspecies communication. Of special relevance for this program, Lilly's interest in the nature of human consciousness led him to invent the isolation or floatation tank in the 1950s. Today there are thousands of Floatation Centers around the world.

The floatation tank is a large plastic container filled with 10 inches of warm water and 800 pounds of dissolved Epsom salt. This high-density liquid allows the body to float effortlessly, free for once from the burden of gravity. The water and air are both heated to skin temperature, so one soon loses the sense of the boundaries of the body. With no light and virtually no sound, it encourages a "sensory-reduced" state that promotes deep physical and mental relaxation, and ultimately allows the floater to explore "inner space."

Hmmm. Does that sound familiar? Floating is one of the most common terms used to describe the effect of Ambient music.

Lilly began by investigating what would happen in an environment free of all sensory stimulation, but instead of the brain going to sleep as had been theorized, a whole new world of inner experience opened up. In the early 1960s, Lilly began experiments with LSD, and decided to take the drug in the isolation tank. Through this work, he arrived at a perspective that transcended the conflict between rationality and mysticism, religion and science.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space...a weightless journey in inner space, on a program called FLOATATION.

Fixed the link.
Wanted this song in Vespers because of the additional colorful cartoon.
I'd thought your, Space Transmission thread, the ideal place for SpaceTech Rock.
The graphic link had no particular meaning. Just doodling with keyboard characters, though maybe best I include explanation next time.

[Menolly]

You lost me. I don't understand the above graphic...

However, you reminded me that today is Sunday, so there is the weekly free transmission with a free account on hos.com.

This week is an oldie, but goodie from 2002.

The 20th century American photographer ANSEL ADAMS was a tireless advocate for the cause of wilderness and the environment. His images became icons of the landscape of the American west, intensifying and purifying the experience of natural beauty. In his photographs, he created a sense of the magnificence of nature that filled the viewer with the emotional equivalent of wilderness — often more powerful than the actual thing.

Something similar happened at the edges of 20th century American music. Drawing together influences from the 19th century romantics, the French Impressionists, the serene mysticism of OLIVIER MESSIAEN, the ideas of JOHN CAGE, and the new technologies of sound recording, composers began to incorporate manmade or actual sounds of nature into their compositions and recordings.

Film soundtracks typically mixed music and sound effects with dialog; during the 1960s commercial nature sound records become popular, and countless albums of music and nature sounds eventually became a cliche at the hands of new age composers — but when used with real sensitivity, the combination can achieve a kind of magic, setting the music into sound images of an idealized natural landscape, and psychologically transporting the listener from their normal environment.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we explore the mixture of natural sounds and music, on a program called AMERICAN SKIES.

Here is this week's Hearts of Space transmission: Program 1086 - Summerflight

One of the most successful innovations of the early days of popular electronic music was the "sequencer" — an easy way to make repeating electronic patterns. Beginning in the 1940s as a crude electro-mechanical device, it was refined in the 1960s by DON BUCHLA as part of his modular analog synthesizer. The sequencer was so musically useful that it was quickly adopted by ROBERT MOOG and soon became a standard feature of analog synthesizers.

Moog's legendary instruments were snapped up in the 1970s by cutting edge European musicians. In Berlin the artist behind this music, a young drummer named KLAUS SCHULZE, was a founding member of several early electronic bands before going solo.

The rest is electronic music history. The hypnotic rhythms that Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream and others created with their sequencers were so influential/ that the "Berlin School" style lives on today and enjoys periodic revivals. It's addictive, enjoyable music: for some, a descendant of Baroque counterpoint; for others, an infinite playground of music for virtual flight across electronic soundscapes; and for listeners, an appealing rhythmic music...without drums.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space...flying and floating on electronic rhythms, on a program called SUMMERFLIGHT.

(cross posted in the David Bowie thread)

Wow, this week's Hearts of Space transmission is beautiful. I'll admit that I am not a big fan of Bowie, so I have not heard most of these before. This may make me more of a fan; I'll have to check out the three mentioned albums.

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.
