Hearts of Space (VPR)
11 p.m.-Midnight Saturday
Hearts of Space grew out of former architect Stephen Hill's fascination with space-creating, ambient, and contemplative music. Beginning in the early 1970s, Hill hosted a weekly late-night radio program on KPFA-FM 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.
Now in its 24th year of national syndication, program is a tastemaker for the "spacemusic" genre - a mix of ambient, electronic, world, new age, classical, and experimental music.
Each hour is an uninterrupted musical journey, designed to create a relaxed but concentrated ambience. Slow-paced, space-creating music from many cultures' ancient bell meditations, classical adagios, creative space jazz, and the latest electronic and acoustic ambient music are woven into a seamless sequence unified by sound, emotion, and spatial imagery.
