Sonically sophisticated and emotionally refined, \u003ci\u003eThe Way Home\u003c\/i\u003e breathes with profound serenity and heartfelt beauty.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Perelandra,\" the companion piece, is inspired by C. S. Lewis's famous science fiction novel. This three-part composition for synthesizers and choral voices evokes the sensual, floating atmosphere of a lush, Venusian paradise.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Kevin Braheny has been active musically since the age of 4, when he began playing piano. Early compositions followed at age 7, and at 11 he took up woodwinds, which became the core sounds of his mature works. He had early ensemble experiences in classical music, jazz, big band, funk, and rock.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In 1971, Kevin discovered the new frontier of electronic music and moved to Los Angeles, where we worked with pioneer Moog synthesist Malcolm Cecil and modular synthesizer inventor Serge Tcherepnin. He built new prototypes for the latter's advanced analog synthesizers and in 1978 assembled \"The Mighty Serge,\" an advanced modular analog system.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"I modified or built my own equipment to insure maximum sonic control and expressiveness,\" says Kevin. \"I try to get inside sounds and work from the inside out. My compositions flow from a sensual experience of sound, but they're designed by my knowledge of form -- and my love, passion, actually, for beauty.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The particularly expressive instrument Kevin plays is the Steiner EWI (electronic wind instrument), which is controlled by the performer's breath and touch. It's an extremely sensitive instrument, immediately responsive to the slightest change in breath or pressure or position of the lips, fingers, or hands. An amateur picking it up is in for a number of surprises! While Kevin characteristically uses it to produce woodwind-like sounds, it also functions as an all-purpose controller, interfacing Kevin and his audience, with a limitless universe of sounds.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Like his instrument, Kevin himself is versatile of mood yet single-minded of intent to express emotion. His brand of new age music includes passion, emotional intensity, and the intent to bring the listener an enhanced experience of self and surroundings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Way Home\u003c\/i\u003e was originally released under the title \u003ci\u003ePerelandra\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"descript\"\u003e\"An expressive and forward-looking album, The Way Home set the tone for not only [Kevin] Braheny's career but for much of the new age\/electronic music to come.\"  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"descript\"\u003e- Heather Phares, \u003cem\u003eAll Music Guide\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"descript\"\u003e\"For sheer beauty and music magic, \u003cem\u003eThe Way Home\u003c\/em\u003e has no peer.

A rich, magical ambience and welter of musical influences from southeast Asian gamelan to European classical electronic stretch the mind with a seductive, multi-cultural mix. Rainforest demonstrates the paradox of contemporary electro-acoustic spacemusic projects, with its high-tech approach to some very ancient musical experiences.

Braheny - Secret Rooms","description":"\u003cp\u003eSecret Rooms - the 1991 release from Kevin Braheny.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKevin Braheny's reputation as \"one of the finest musicians on the new age music scene today\" (Pulse!) rests on the subtle intricacy of his compositions and the sophistication, sensuality, and sensitivity of his sonic palette. Secret Rooms showcases significant growth in both these areas - as well as completely new developments. KEVIN BRAHENY's first two solo albums, Lullaby For The Hearts Of Space (1980) and The Way Home (originally entitled Perelandra [1984]), established his mastery of the serene, extended meditation. On the other hand, reviewers praised his 1988 planetarium soundtrack album Galaxies for the exquisite beauty of its very concise pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile working on Galaxies and Secret Rooms, Braheny also participated in two successful collaborations: Western Spaces (1987), with Steve Roach\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and Richard Burmer, and Desert Solitaire (1989) with Roach and Michael Stearns\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. CD Review called the trio \"three acknowledged synthesizer masters.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat separates the masters from the masses? Real synth heroes roll their own. Kevin actually builds much of his own equipment and creates all his own samples, often using his \"Mighty Serge\" modular analog synthesizer. For Secret Rooms, Braheny also built the custom 3-D binaural recording technology for the \"Passages\" that link the musical pieces. (Try listening to them through headphones to get the fullest effect.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSecret Rooms unveils Braheny's expanded range as a composer. The brilliant \"Shadowcatcher\" and \"'Til You Get There\" represent his first significant rhythmic explorations to date, with ethno-percussion specialist Leonice Shinneman. Other pieces extend and deepen his trademark warmth, depth, and unerring melodic appeal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe theme of secret \"internal rooms\" - hidden emotions, psychic states, spaces in consciousness, each with an individual ambience and identity - conjures up a journey that, in Kevin's words \"is about experiencing the different spaces, and then using each experience to move on to the next.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSecret Rooms confirms Braheny's own ability to keep moving on - exploring, expressing, and evolving his singular talent in ever more significant and satisfying ways.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration:

which evoke a reverie... personal, collective, and universal,\" a music \"half forgotten, buried within the strata of the primordial mind.\" Whether the final product achieves its virtually shamanistic goals will have to be decided by each listener, but it's clear that Strata pushes resolutely deeper into the new territories opened up for contemporary psychonauts by electronic sound production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom its early polyrhythmic movement pieces, through the darkly compelling interior landscapes at its center, to the healing sonorities that enshroud the concluding \"La Luna,\" Strata conveys the listener to soundworlds below the surface of ordinary music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExperienced listeners will hear evidence of influences from artists like Brian Eno and Jon Hassell, North African and other world music traditions, but the mixture and ultimately the meaning of the musical sound experiences which Strata unlocks is unique. Remarkably, it advances on a sonic frontier without resorting to an alien musical language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration:

Nor is its emotional impact, though powerful, usually cheerful or happy. At its best such music resonates with a simple truth, and is as sublime and complex, as inextricable from life, as delight or sorrow.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e-Tim Story\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Beguile' is a unique verb with two almost completely contradictory meanings. The original, almost archaic: to mislead by guile or deceit; more commonly, to charm or delight; to lure; to pass time pleasantly. TIM STORY's gently epic soundscapes and brief, intimate, deeply felt modern chamber pieces yield up this kind of richly equivocal meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStory's musical evolution has always plied a steady course. Beguiled, his 6th album in a resolutely consistent recording career spanning over ten years, is the finest realization yet of the musical concerns that have motivated him from the beginning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePonder his titles for a moment and it becomes clear. Story is heir to the tradition of ironic miniaturists most famously embodied by French composer Erik Satie. (Harold Budd is a modern example.) Consciously antidramatic, these artists shunned the grandiose formalities and weighty thematics of the German symphonic establishment in favor of complex, highly structured melodic music for solo instruments and small ensembles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn their use of modest forces they aligned themselves with the chamber music tradition, but here also they departed from the norm; instead of somber introspection they explored the emotional poetics of ambiguity, irreverence, and irony, with fresh, unusual harmonies and subtle, disarming melodies. In this music, what appears simple on first hearing mysteriously expands, enfolds, and ultimately beguiles with time and repetition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike his precursors, Story works primarily with vernacular instruments of the day - piano, guitar, and the endlessly malleable timbres of electronic keyboards. Like a good modernist, he sets his delicate dramas in an expanded reverberant soundscape. But his mysterious presence, unqualified emotionality, and taste for the 'sublime' mark him as a romantic for the digital era.\u003cbr style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCOMPOSED AND PRODUCED BY TIM STORY\u003cbr\u003eSYNTHESIZERS, SAMPLING INSTRUMENTS, ELECTRIC\u003cbr\u003eGUITAR, ALL SOUNDS AND TREATMENTS TIM STORY\u003cbr\u003eCELLO MARTHA REIKOW\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11027\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Hearts of Space Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":10401644227,"sku":"2-HOS-11027","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"MP3 Album","offer_id":10401644355,"sku":"2-HOS-11027D","price":8.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV Album","offer_id":10401644419,"sku":"2-HOS-11027L","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beguiled (MP3)","offer_id":24950608454,"sku":"USAKS0600011","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Helen of the West (MP3)","offer_id":24950639494,"sku":"USAKS0600012","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Improbable Landscape (MP3)","offer_id":24950646982,"sku":"USAKS0600013","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"These Few Words (MP3)","offer_id":24950743110,"sku":"USAKS0600014","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pale Litany (MP3)","offer_id":24950976966,"sku":"USAKS0600015","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"And Evening Falls (MP3)","offer_id":24950984326,"sku":"USAKS0600016","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"In the Days of Small Sorrows (MP3)","offer_id":24951000454,"sku":"USAKS0600017","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Her Cathedral (MP3)","offer_id":24951025606,"sku":"USAKS0600018","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Delires (MP3)","offer_id":24951229638,"sku":"USAKS0600019","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Eyelids of the Sea (MP3)","offer_id":24951395782,"sku":"USAKS0600020","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Many Years Pass (MP3)","offer_id":24951397766,"sku":"USAKS0600021","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"The Luminous, The Dark (MP3)","offer_id":24951409222,"sku":"USAKS0600022","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beguiled (WAV)","offer_id":24951624518,"sku":"USAKS0600011L","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Helen of the West (WAV)","offer_id":24951639942,"sku":"USAKS0600012L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Improbable Landscape (WAV)","offer_id":24951719430,"sku":"USAKS0600013L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"These Few Words (WAV)","offer_id":24951732998,"sku":"USAKS0600014L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pale Litany (WAV)","offer_id":24951947974,"sku":"USAKS0600015L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"And Evening Falls (WAV)","offer_id":24951955078,"sku":"USAKS0600016L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"In the Days of Small Sorrows (WAV)","offer_id":24951970694,"sku":"USAKS0600017L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Her Cathedral (WAV)","offer_id":24952007046,"sku":"USAKS0600018L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Delires (WAV)","offer_id":24952013702,"sku":"USAKS0600019L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Eyelids of the Sea (WAV)","offer_id":24952027398,"sku":"USAKS0600020L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Many Years Pass (WAV)","offer_id":24952036678,"sku":"USAKS0600021L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"The Luminous, The Dark (WAV)","offer_id":24952045766,"sku":"USAKS0600022L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/6410\/products\/Beguiled.png?v=1449853178"},{"product_id":"robert-rich-gaudi","title":"Robert Rich - Gaudi","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRobert Rich's album that was inspired by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"descript\"\u003ethe life and work of Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Robert Rich, the life and work of Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi served as a touchstone and inspiration in the lengthy process of creating this music.  His work embodied an awareness of both physical and metaphysical perceptions.

Stearns saw the dawn of the 90's while traveling to Indonesia, Thailand, Egypt, Costa Rica, Brazil and the Galapagos Islands to record indigenous music and sound effects for film assignments. Arriving with an open mind and a finely tuned ear for ambience, he left stimulated -- not only by the exotic soundscapes and unfamiliar instruments he heard, but also by the powerful, elemental music of these ancient worlds.

Truan brought the experience of a seasoned professional arranger, producer, and jazz keyboardist, a wealth of associate musicians from the Basel scene, and (with David Klein \u0026amp; Niki Reiser) an up-to-date MIDI studio, Trizeps.

The third Hearts of Space recording from this talented Bay-area multi-instrumentalist adds a number of guest artists to the sensuous yet rigorous cross-cultural stew he's been perfecting for years. Rich himself excels on synths, samplers, slide guitar, percussion, and bamboo flutes, often adding extra spice through his use of exotic tuning systems that reach back to the ancient roots of harmony.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the opening track, \"Animus,\" Middle Eastern-style flute melodies wrap their breathy, sinuous lines around nebulous veils of synthesized sound and trance-inducing rhythms. Subsequent selections combine Rich's evocative sound imagery with LISA MOSKOW's inviting improvisations on the Indian sarod, Forest Fang's oriental-style violin melodies, and CARTER SCHOLZ's mesmerizing solos on Indonesian gamelan instruments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe seven resulting pieces illustrate a new level of maturity and complexity in Rich's style. At the same time, Propagation embodies a clarity of vision matched by few artists immersing themselves in the deep and often murky waters of cross-cultural sound explorations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRECORDED, PRODUCED, MIXED AND DIGITALLY ASSEMBLED BY ROBERT RICH IN 1993 AT\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSOUNDSCAPE STUDIO, MOUNTAIN VIEW,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCA.

This is the sound of stones ringing across the desert, the music of ancient mysteries being rediscovered. Celebrated electronic composer Michael Stearns has long been fascinated with Native American myths involving singing stones. On previous recordings, he designed synthesized sounds to bring the essence of these legends to life. In the early 1990s, however, Stearns came across an archeological paper that proved the existence of such phenomena. A number of ringing rocks had been discovered throughout the Southwest, usually at prolific petroglyph sites. It had just taken a while for scientists to think of hitting the decorated stones to see if they made musical sounds. When these granite boulders or rock ledges were finally struck with a smaller stone, they rang out with the clarity of a beautifully crafted chime. It wasn't hard to visualize prehistoric Native Americans creating a virtual symphony of tones as they pounded ceremonial images into the rocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce he learned of their existence, Stearns couldn't wait to visit these magical places and hear the music for himself. Most locations, however, are kept secret in order to protect them from careless destruction. Though only one modern tribe has been found to play the stones as a part of their traditional rites, these sites are still considered sacred by the various Native American nations on whose land the sonic formations reside.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDespite these difficulties, Stearns dreamed of making an album involving the legendary stones, and he found an important ally in RON SUNSINGER\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, an adopted grandson of the Cheyenne, Lakota and Hopi tribes. The Albuquerque-based musician and ceremonial artist was not only able to get permission from tribal elders to record at several singing stone sites, he lent his own musical talents to the project and brought in some respected Native American singers as well. The results of their travels and collaborations are presented on Singing Stones, a haunting collection of 11 original compositions combining traditional Native American chants and flutes with natural ambiences, percussion, subtle synthesized atmospheres, sampled instruments, and, most importantly, the sounds of the stones themselves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSinging Stones captures the beauty and the mystery of ringing rocks played with a variety of techniques. Sometimes Stearns and Sunsinger struck the stones with an elk antler or a small rock, other times they were slapped with the hand or even rubbed to create more subtle tones. There were, after all, no traditional procedures to guide the musicians. The tribes that originally gathered around to play the stones have long since disappeared. No one knows what strange and wonderful ceremonies took place at these sites or what kind of music the stones gave birth to in prehistoric times. Stearns and Sunsinger had to use their own seasoned musical imaginations to bring the ringing rocks back to life. Often, the sounds of the stones themselves seemed to direct the course of the composition, as if the earth itself were using modern hands to awaken songs that had been locked in solid granite since the beginning of time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 THE RINGING DESERT

Reyes, and Suso Saiz.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarth Island conjures up swirling apparitions from the past and the future. For STEVE ROACH, JORGE REYES and SUSO SAIZ,, there were no boundaries, only waves of sound splashing against the big island we call Earth, with mammoth beats, Mayan trumpets and alien tone colors. When STEVE ROACH, JORGE REYES and SUSO SAIZ, recorded their first album under the group name Suspended Memories last year, each individual was a respected recording artist in his own right. Yet the overwhelming response to Forgotten Gods suggests that the force of this international ensemble may be even greater than the sum of its parts. This 1993 HOS release received superior ratings in Downbeat, Pulse! and CD Review, made several critics' annual Top 10 lists, and was recently nominated for a NAIRD award. That's just in the U.S. The group's growing international following led to a whirlwind tour of Spain and a well-received appearance at Germany's Klang Art new music festival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA number of artists worldwide have already hailed Suspended Memories as an important inspiration. One appreciative musician called the team of Roach, Reyes and Saiz \"the ambient supergroup.\" Critic and radio producer John Diliberto, however, summed it up best in his CD Review critique: \"This album reveals new crevices of sound, new interplays of culture, new voices from the past,\" later adding: \"You don't experience Forgotten Gods, you are transformed with it.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe musicians themselves haven't had the time to rest on their laurels. They were also transformed by the experience and couldn't wait to jump off the creative edge together again. With Forgotten Gods barely in stores last spring, the trio juggled European concert dates with recording sessions for a new Suspended Memories release. The schedule was grueling - intensive, highly improvisatory performances alternating with all-night brainstorms in studios from Madrid to Northern Germany.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was a far cry from the seclusion of Roach's Arizona-based studio where Forgotten Gods was recorded. There, the primal magic and serenity of the Sonoran desert nourished the group's initial, neo-ritualistic excursion. But in Europe, the gods were buried under thousands of years of architecture, etiquette, industry and complacency. Still, the trio managed to map out places in between and outside Old World decorum, finally blasting through the confines of time and space as they united cultures, instruments and musical styles with sounds that seemed to be seeping in from some parallel universe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its mammoth beats, ceremonial rhythms, wailing Mayan trumpets, growling didgeridoos, Mexican field recording fragments, alien tone colors and surrealistic electric guitar melodies, Earth Island conjures up swirling apparitions from the past and the future. For Roach, Reyes and Saiz, there were no boundaries, only waves of sound splashing against the big island we call earth, washing relics from some distant clan onto new shores, eroding the conventions of the present and carrying the remains out to sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11043\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAll music composed by Steve Roach,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJorge Reyes and Suso Saiz.

Modern chamber music to die for, from Hearts of Space. There is such a thing as a perfect flaw. It's a single cloud that roams across the sky on a summer day, a moment of pain that deepens and strengthens a relationship, a mistake that leads an artist or a scientist to explore a whole new area of possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTim Story understands this phenomenon. In fact, he has developed a technique for making it happen at will to fuel his aesthetic strategy as a composer and instrumentalist. On his cunningly titled latest release, odd and angular melodies run rampant with a grace that turns the unexpected into the most sublime of moments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 11 short pieces on his latest venture come with evocative titles like \"Liquid Shadow Night,\" \"The Color of Vowels,\" and \"Until She Fades Away.\" At less than five minutes each, they appear deceptively simple. The nuances reflected in each selection bring to mind the pleasure of staring at a finely cut diamond in a plain gold setting. Just as such a gem catches available light in infinitely intriguing ways, Story's music speaks with an open-ended lyricism that changes and evolves over repeated listenings. His elegant, understated instrumentals satisfy people who crave melody but would like to see it taken beyond the predictability and sentimentality that rule most forms of contemporary music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can compare his style to ironic miniaturists like early 20th-century French composer Erik Satie. You can mention Story's accomplished union of acoustic grand piano, oboe, clarinet, English horn and cello with subtle, finely-crafted electronic sounds. You can quote journalists who have characterized his approach as \"graceful, visceral chamber music for 21st century romantics\" (Pulse! 1992). The one thing you can't begin to do is describe the individual pieces themselves, for Story takes listeners to places that words can't follow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis is the language of the soul whispering behind the brain, the intricacies of feeling that stir though the body and yet ultimately leave us speechless. Poets can paint a vague outline of this landscape with their metaphors and suggestions, but only certain kinds of music can take you on a full fledged tour of living emotions: those constantly churning, ambiguous sensations that make you cry at the bittersweet ending of a tragic film yet want to go back and see it again and again. It's this passion for the ironies of life that drives Story's music. The composer himself has described his approach as \"a desperate serenity,\" and he achieves the effect through subtly dissonant melodies that are refined to the point where they flow effortlessly with an integrity and beauty all their own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf course with Tim Story, it's not light catching the eye that creates the magic. It's the feelings, memories and dreams each individual brings to the music that creates a synthesis of sound and emotion that can never be heard the same way twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11045\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eRecorded and mixed by Tim Story at Zeta Recording, Toledo, Ohio.

In these dark waters, dreams and archetypes rise up to nourish those who yearn for inspiration in the search for creative renewal. After thirty years of composing, performing, and inspiring other people with his lush, transcendental romantic style, the Maui-based musician Raphael faced an artistic crisis. His previous releases, \u003cem\u003eMusic to Disappear In\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMusic to Disappear In II\u003c\/em\u003e had become bestselling classics in the new age\/contemporary genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"My harmonies were getting stuck,\" he recalls. With only twelve notes in an octave, I was beginning to wonder if I hadn't already worn them out.\" The breakthrough came in a dream: swimming with a magnificent whale, he told the creature his fears of losing his muse. \"That's ridiculous,\" said the whale. \"The possibilites of music are endless. You can never reach the end. It's like trying to calculate the last decimal of pi. It just goes on forever.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAngels of the Deep\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, real whales provide the impetus for Raphael's musical re-birth. The first two selections, \"Angels of the Deep\" and \"Communion,\" constitute a two-part concerto for whales and synthesizers, and take a quantum leap in the use of natural ambient sounds in a musical context. Not content to merely add a few whale sounds as atmospheric background, Raphael actually derived his unusual twists of phrase from their amazingly soulful cries. Bending his synthesized sounds, the composer glides with the sinuous tones of his aquatic colleagues as his own luxurious melodies rise and fall in waves of emotion. The level of ecstasy escalates as Raphael's themes swirl through a vast sea of liquid harmonies and swim circles aorund the songs of the whales. Soon the illusion of swimming becomes synonymous with flying as the music soars with an intensity of feeling unmatched by his previous recordings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese opening pieces climax and recede, yet echo throughout the rest of the album. \"Prayer\" floats gently toward the Pacific Rim with the childlike sweetness of an Indonesian lullaby, then transforms into a passionate ballad for piano. Feeling of reverence and thankfulness culminate in rhapsodic flourishes that blur the boundaries between romantic devotion and love of the divine. Other selections celebrate sensuous flute melodies, earthy dance grooves, and exotic modal melodies suspended in mystical drones that flow once again toward the unknown reaches of human experience. At the end, Raphael performs a meditative version of Erik Satie's oriental-inspired \"Gnossienne No. 3\" that adds new insight to the early 20th-century composer's gift for conveying the quiet intensity of life's undercurrents.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUltimately, Raphael's vision of creative renewal is potent enough to reach beyond personal experience and move listeners who also crave more meaning -- and magic -- in life. This composer's angels may have fins instead of wings, but their songs, too, are otherworldly and their power to inspire as formidable as any muse or guardian spirit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11047\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eMusicians:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRaphael - synthesizers\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBruce Bec Var - shakti harp and guitar\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCharlene Idé - flute\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKim Atkinson - congas on \"Initiation\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIan Dogole - udu on \"Initiation\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProduced by Warren Dennis Kahn and Raphael\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMixed by Warren Dennis Kahn at The Banquet Sound Studios, Santa Rosa, California.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMastered by Bob Olhsson and Stephen Hill at Hearts of Space Studio, San Francisco,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ewith WAVES SP software and THIEL monitors.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhale Sounds courtesy of Dr. Payne and the Wildlife Conservation Sociely\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"This music was deeply inspired by my beloved Kutira Décosterd.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShe has opened me to dimensions of music I've never dreamt of.\" --Raphael\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll music composed by Raphael\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eexcept \"Remembrance,\" composed by Raphael and Sherri Michaels,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eand \"Prayer\" composed by Raphael and Pinchi Pete Velasquez.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e© 1995 Raphael Sharpe Productions\/BMI, administered by Liminal Music\/BMI. \"Gnossienne No.3\" by Erik Satie. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hearts of Space Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":10592445507,"sku":"2-HOS-11047","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MP3 Album","offer_id":10592445635,"sku":"2-HOS-11047D","price":8.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV Album","offer_id":10592445763,"sku":"2-HOS-11047L","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Angels of the Deep (MP3)","offer_id":26115771782,"sku":"USAKS0600143","price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Communion (MP3)","offer_id":26115790278,"sku":"USAKS0600144","price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Prayer (MP3)","offer_id":26115818758,"sku":"USAKS0600145","price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Initiation (MP3)","offer_id":26115847686,"sku":"USAKS0600146","price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Remembrance (MP3)","offer_id":26115912774,"sku":"USAKS0600147","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Purification (MP3)","offer_id":26115923078,"sku":"USAKS0600148","price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gnossienne No. 3 (Satie) (MP3)","offer_id":26115939078,"sku":"USAKS0600149","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Angels of the Deep (WAV)","offer_id":26115955590,"sku":"USAKS0600143L","price":1.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Communion (WAV)","offer_id":26115968838,"sku":"USAKS0600144L","price":1.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Prayer (WAV)","offer_id":26115976070,"sku":"USAKS0600145L","price":1.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Initiation (WAV)","offer_id":26115981254,"sku":"USAKS0600146L","price":1.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Remembrance (WAV)","offer_id":26116000070,"sku":"USAKS0600147L","price":1.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Purification (WAV)","offer_id":26116086278,"sku":"USAKS0600148L","price":1.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gnossienne No. 3 (Satie) (WAV)","offer_id":26116109766,"sku":"USAKS0600149L","price":1.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/6410\/products\/Angels-of-the-Deep.png?v=1449853771"},{"product_id":"robert-rich-lisa-moskow-yearning","title":"Robert Rich \u0026 Lisa Moskow - Yearning","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Robert Rich \u0026amp; Lisa Moskow created \u003ci\u003eYearning\u003c\/i\u003e as an 'evolution of the traditional approach to alop,' the introduction and slowest part of the Indian raga.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e- All Music Guide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe musical concept behing Yearning emerged during the making of ROBERT RICH's 1994 Hearts of Space release \u003cem\u003ePropagation\u003c\/em\u003e.

Exploiting the vast potential of digital multitrack recording, Rich was then able to integrate his own huge, shifting clouds of sound made by flutes (many hand-crafted to fit the tonality of each movement), synths, guitar, santur, and percussion, \"allowing the music to move me in what ever direction it should.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Most Indian music is recorded in a strictly ethnomusicological manner,\" Rich notes, \"isolating a particular performance in a specific place and time. I treated the sections, based on various raga modes, like one long, flowing performance.\" Although sound design is crucial to the deep, dark atmospherics of Yearning, the actual role of computer electronics is subdued into the delicate microtonal adjustments that make each passage dovetail into the next, and the subtle enhancements that, in Rich's words \"create a hybrid of acoustic and electronic texture - every timbre is acoustic but feels much larger.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"When I'm making music,\" Rich explains, \"I want to discover something much bigger than me.

There is a great deal of freedom within the form and, as in America's classical music, jazz, you can improvise indefinitely once you know the rules. It allows enormous potential for self-expression.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy presenting that mode of self-expression in a context of expanded time and space, Rich and Moskow invite the listener into a world that is comforting and familiar yet entirely challenging and fresh.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11050\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eRecorded, produced, mixed and digitally assembled by Robert Rich in 1994 at Soundscape\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStudio, Mountain View, CA.

Nine thousand feet above sea level, in the wild southeastern corner of Venezuela, an ancient sandstone mesa rises eerily out of dense, swirling mists and fog. One of many strange and haunting tepuis that tower above almost impenetrable thickets of tropical rain forest, Mount Roraima stood in grand isolation for more than a million years before the first European explorers dared ascend to its forbidding summit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour years after a 1990 National Geographic article reminded him about Mount Roraima and The Lost World, MICHAEL STEARNS realized a dream that began in childhood - to trek to Venezuela's \"Islands in Time\" and experience a natural domain that remains astonishingly remote from the ravages and complexities of modern civilization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was 1595 when Sir Walter Raleigh recorded his sightings of a \"crystal mountain\" during his exploration of Guyana. But it was not until 1884 that the first European expedition reached the top of the greatest of all the region's crystal mountains, Mt. Roraima. The British botanist on that trip returned to England and lectured extensively on his discoveries. One audience member, Sir Arthur Conen Doyle, extrapolated those tales into his 1912 novel, The Lost World - a book which captivated the childhood imagination of Michael Stearns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA world traveler who has brilliantly translated his explorations into such sonic masterpieces as \u003cem\u003eSacred Site \u003c\/em\u003e(2-HOS-11038) and \u003cem\u003eSinging Stones\u003c\/em\u003e (2-HOS-11042), Stearns now transports us as listeners to a Lost World of rare beauty and unfathomable power.

Integrating environmental sounds into a spacious swirl of electronics punctuated by crystalline percussion, he captures both the enormity and the delicate minutiae of the otherworldly setting, where unique species of orchids, frogs, and butterflies find refuge in rock formations shaped by nearly two billion years of ceaseless erosion. Pressing on, we hear the echoes of thunder, the hum of insects, the calls of birds, and soar toward the heavens as the magnificent operatic voice of KERI RUSHTOI rides the crest of Stearns's vast instrumental wash.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith each track of \u003cem\u003eThe Lost World\u003c\/em\u003e, we turn another corner, marvel at an extraordinary indigenous species of orchid or butterfly, conquer a lofty peak, and experience the anticipation, trepidation, and exhilaration of an odyssey into the unknown. \"The Gran Saban\" is not all ethereal atmospherics; it teems with tropical life and human ritual, and Stearns apprehends the sounds of the earth, the animals, and the tribes who dwell there. With 'singing' stones, wooden flutes, whistles, percussion, on-site ambient recordings, wind harps, and Keri Rushtoi's magnificent vocals, Stearns evokes the natural majesty of the place. He captures the enigmatic tone of the myths and stories he heard from the native Pemon and Warao people. In doing so, he gives us an entirely fresh perspective on our own relationship to worlds lost and found. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11054\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eLyrics and vocals: Keri Rusthoi and Michael Stearns\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePercussion: Miguel Rivera plays Singing Stone on Imu\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eParu and the Chivaton door on Matawi.

For visionary composers STEVE ROACH, MICHAEL STEARNS and RON SUNSINGER, Kiva is a realm of pure sound which transforms the everyday world into a conduit for the extraordinary. For over a thousand years, Native Americans of the Southwest have gathered in Kivas, subterranean ceremonial structures marked by a single ladder protruding from the ground. Isolated from ordinary concerns, members of the tribe meet in these cavernous underground circles to sing songs, tell tales, perform secret rituals, and share visions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo ancient Native Americans the Kiva was a church within the womb of the earth. The Kiva symbolized the mythic underground realm from which the first human beings emerged. The Kiva was a place of remembrance, of healing, of meditation on the origins and destinies of the tribe. For audio-visionary composers STEVE ROACH, MICHAEL STEARNS and RON SUNSINGER, Kiva is a realm of pure sound shaped into a powerful journey that transforms the everyday world into a conduit for the extraordinary. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe project began when Sunsinger, an adopted member of several tribes, was given permission to record the sounds of sacred Indian rites, something practically unheard of in Native American circles. With the blessings of the medicine men, he spent months capturing the authentic ambiences of a traditional peyote ceremony, a South American ayahuasca ritual, and an observance of the central plains Sundance. These source recordings became the basis for the East, South, and West Kivas. The North Kiva evolved out of a series of intense group improvisations in a man-made cave.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether it occurs in a cave or the womb-like chamber of an electronic musician's studio, the essence of the Kiva can be realized in many forms. On Kiva, the three artists took these rare field recordings of traditional shamanic practices and incorporated them into vast synthesized landscapes blown over by massive thunderclaps and haunted by primeval instruments, giving the entire album the aura of an extended hallucinogenic experience. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe four \"Kivas\" lure listeners toward another dimension ... a dense, twilight-colored reverie where primordial secrets materialize, then dissipate in a swirling brew of apparitions and realizations.

The album reveals the ambiguity lurking at the fringes of perception. A provocative new contribution to the growing 'dark ambient' catalogue. Fathom artist Robert Rich joins underground sound design legend B.LUSTMORD (aka Brian Williams) for an extended journey inspired by the title and the hypnotic minimalism of ANDREI TARKOVSKY'S mesmerizing future\/fiction film Stalker. The album slowly reveals a psychoactive soundscape of shape-shifting shadows, dense subharmonic massings, subtle drone textures and ambiguous sound events lurking at the fringes of perception. Online music reviewer David Spalding says \"Unlike the majority of Rich's previous work, this is a consistently dark, troubling vision ... an eerie, unnatural fantasia that borders on the sinister. The various movements flow one into another like a forward march to the center of the unknown, take the listener past scenes of edginess and loss, a haunted landscape punctuated by echoes. Stalker is a poetic trip into another dimension, both macabre and transcendent. I suspect that this will be one of the top ambient albums of 1995.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seemingly unlikely pairing of Robert Rich, he of slow, gradually evolving electronic music, and B.Lustmord, creator of doomy, ambient industrial experiments, has yielded a sublime musical entity known as Stalker. Having found a middle ground, it integrates Rich's intelligent ambient style and Lustmord's more threatening, even horrific industrial sound. Though their fundamental aesthetics might seem at odds, the joining of forces has yielded a synergistic whole which transcends their individual genius.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStalker derives its title from the classic philosophical film of the same name by Andrei Tarkovsky. Yet this visionary music is not intended to be a surrogate soundtrack. The music, in fact, makes few specific references to the film. The two creations do, however, share the common theme of a mysterious voyage. The film, set in an unidentified near future and a familiar but unnamed locale, depicts a forbidden journey through \"the Zone,\" a region closed by government officials to all unauthorized personnel. In the heart of the Zone, according to rumor, is a room where everyone's most secret wish and desire will be fulfilled. The Stalker is a guide, one who takes those who are willing to risk everything to the room at the center of the Zone. Using no special effects or conventional gimmickry, Tarkovsky creates haunting atmospheres by inference and subtle innuendo. Likewise, this sonic creation by Lustmord and Rich takes the listener through a similarly mystifying Zone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is music for aural exploration. The two composers create an alternate reality, a unique territory from an unknown universe. Like Tarkovsky's film, the music moves slowly and the subject matter is abstract. Sonic events flow seamlessly, eluding identification. One of the few familiar images is that of water, with its symbolic evanescence and transience. While the music is not about \"stalkers\" or \"serial killers,\" it has the same darkness and sinister foreboding implied by such terms. The music is evocative, but never precise. Instead, the music invites the listeners to participate in the creative process and find their own extra-musical vision. This is a kind of head candy, a sound design project for the adventurous listener. There are no hooks, no catchy melodies or danceable rhythms. New ambient, but also much more. Psychoactive sound, a sonic expedition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11059\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003ezone activity documented by\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBrian Williams and Robert Rich at Soundscape 1994 -

STEVE ROACH's restless vision has taken him across some mighty sonic expanses. Alone and with an international band of collaborators he has attempted to find the place where sound comes from, blending synthesizers and early instruments to create a highly original organic brand of modern electronic music. He has looked toward the ancient as a signpost for reading the modern world and vice versa with mystifying accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn The Magnificent Void, Steve Roach tracks the terrain that lies outside the discussion of space, time, and even music. Without the aid of insistent rhythms, Roach takes his electroacoustic investigations into the dark heart of the sonic ooze to find the country that lies within and interpret its languages. The sounds that emanate from his journey are older than form,order or civilization. He interprets them from the experiential realm as a medium. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor nearly two decades Steve Roach has been at the forefront of new directions in electronic and acoustic music. His work has consistently confounded classification and genrefication. A true pioneer in his field, he has worked with musicians, filmmakers, artists and photographers across the globe to further the discussion of artistic expression. Younger innovators in the techno and ambient worlds revere Roach's contributions and are amazed at his ability to stay years ahead of the curve. With The Magnificent Void, Roach ups the ante once again. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The Void,\" wrote metaphysician Stanislav Grof, \"exists beyond form of any kind. While being a source of everything it cannot be itself derived from anything else. It is beyond space and time.\" The Void then, is not something we do, it is something we experience. It is nothingness, emptiness, silence. It is not a state so much as a place of interior geography that nonetheless connects all beings in the phenomenal and archetypal worlds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn The Magnificent Void, his first solo recording for Fathom, electro-acoustic music pioneer Steve Roach, inhabits that very place in order to speak from it; the music here comes not from the relating of that experience, but from the encounter made manifest within it. Through this vast interior landscape, one that prefers stillness and stasis over rhythmic movement, Roach is not looking to describe his surroundings so much as to be fully inside them. Indeed, on these eight interlocking tracks, Roach seems to be asking, \"If the Void could speak, what would it say?\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince he began recording in 1979, Steve Roach has restlessly and relentlessly pursued a singular course for himself in the electroacoustic field. He has traveled, beginning with his landmark Structures From Silence recording in 1984, through his many solo and collaborative projects (over 30) to this present effort, into the distilled heart of sonic essence itself, and its mirrored double, nothingness, to find the seam where they converge: Silence, from where all sounds emanate and eventually return. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Magnificent Void, then, is for Roach, not a summation, but an entirely new path of musical exploration; it is a benchmark for an already prodigious and celebrated career. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe opening track, on this disc, the nearly eight-minute, \"Between the Gray and the Purple,\" is, in all of its washes and drones, a locator of distance and environment. Because of its distinct lack of percussion, it is startling. It's pure drift, full of cascading images and comforting phrases that lull and mystify. For all its wandering and nebulousness, it's full of emotions that fall on top of one another, gradually becoming a weave of feeling and unknowing; it prepares us for what comes next. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn \"Void Memory One\" (which is at different points in the journey followed by Two and Three), images begin to articulate themselves in fleeting fashion, through the ears to the brain and even into the unconscious, which then begins to speak aloud. The fact that this track is a segue from the previous, and that all the others follow suit, is an accurate reflection of how stillness and silence take their place among us and allow us the freedom to move away from an overabiding concern with the physical world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the time we slip into \"Infinite Shore,\" and its segue into \"Cloud of Unknowing,\" Roach has moved himself into the background, allowing the sound to speak for itself in the heart of the listener. Here, mood, color, modality, nuance, and texture, are all interspersed with space and atmosphere. The stillness, no matter how dark the emotion expressed, is pervasive. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter moving across more amorphous bridges, through paths of memory and ghostly presences, where archetypes and sketchy spirits float through the dark drift unbound, we come to, at last, the gateway of \"The Magnificent Void.\" In Roach's unobtrusive hands, it comes into view as having always been there, ever present, ever silent, informing the journey at every step, yet never being the thing itself. Like Arvo Part's simple, tinntinnabuli investigations into the mystery of three bells ringing - in order that his music might cross the threshold of heaven - Roach has overcome his accumulated knowledge and placed it under the guidance of the Void's utterance of the eternal. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInnovation is a strange thing, it moves us forward and holds us back; only the true artist can discern the difference between the two, and know when the balance has been tipped. Steve Roach is that artist, unafraid of what the future might hold and embracing that which will grow him out further. Yet he keeps one eye cocked to the lessons of the past as a way of grounding his work; he rejects musical trends and technological fashions as inept fixes to age old problems in the word of organic sonic inquiry. Here, Roach goes to sleep in the questions in order to wake up in the answers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat there could be a record like The Magnificent Void at the end of the 20th century, which refuses complexity and obfuscation for the sake of allowing the primordial to speak freely is remarkable. That Steve Roach, after such a long and celebrated career, can still, without artifice or falsity, articulate this vast yet simple vision, is astonishing. This is the gate, step inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11062\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCOMPOSED, PERFORMED AND PRODUCED BY STEVE ROACH\u003cbr\u003eRECORDED AND MIXED AT THE TIMEROOM, TUCSON ARIZONA\u003cbr\u003eVOICES ON CLOUD OF UNKNOWING BY LINDA KOHANOV \u0026amp; CANTRELE\u003cbr\u003eDIGITAL ASSEMBLY BY ROGER KING \u0026amp; STEVE ROACH • MASTERED BY BOB OLHSSON AND STEPHEN HILL AT HEARTS)\u003cbr\u003eALL COMPOSITIONS 01996 SOUNDQUEST MUSIC\/BMI • DESIGN STEPHEN HILL AND JEFF TAYLOR • ARTiST PHOTQ ROBIN STENCLIFE\u003cbr\u003eSTEVE ROACH WEB SITE HTTP:»\/WWW.NETS.COM\/ROACH.HTMI\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hearts of Space Records","offers":[{"title":"2xLP (Purple Vinyl)","offer_id":19672262279237,"sku":"1-HOS-11062","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2xLP (Black Vinyl)","offer_id":19672254677061,"sku":"1-HOS-11062","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Vinyl Bundle (1 of Each Color)","offer_id":19672273682501,"sku":"2x1-HOS-11062","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2xLP (Test Pressing)","offer_id":19672264966213,"sku":"1-HOS-11062TP","price":59.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":10594782659,"sku":"2-HOS-11062","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MP3 Album","offer_id":10594782787,"sku":"2-HOS-11062D","price":8.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV Album","offer_id":10594782851,"sku":"2-HOS-11062L","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Between the Gray and the Purple (MP3)","offer_id":26299054918,"sku":"USAKS0501863","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Void Memory One (MP3)","offer_id":26299064902,"sku":"USAKS0501864","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Infinite Shore (MP3)","offer_id":26299081542,"sku":"USAKS0501865","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cloud of Unknowing (MP3)","offer_id":26299091590,"sku":"USAKS0501866","price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Void Memory Two (MP3)","offer_id":26299099526,"sku":"USAKS0501867","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Void Memory Three (MP3)","offer_id":26299110150,"sku":"USAKS0501868","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"The Magnificent Void (MP3)","offer_id":26299118918,"sku":"USAKS0501869","price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Altus (MP3)","offer_id":26299128710,"sku":"USAKS0501870","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Between the Gray and the Purple (WAV)","offer_id":26299149446,"sku":"USAKS0501863L","price":1.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Void Memory One (WAV)","offer_id":26299157894,"sku":"USAKS0501864L","price":1.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Infinite Shore (WAV)","offer_id":26299173702,"sku":"USAKS0501865L","price":1.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cloud of Unknowing (WAV)","offer_id":26299186502,"sku":"USAKS0501866L","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Void Memory Two (WAV)","offer_id":26299194886,"sku":"USAKS0501867L","price":1.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Void Memory Three (WAV)","offer_id":26299208646,"sku":"USAKS0501868L","price":1.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"The Magnificent Void (WAV)","offer_id":26299217158,"sku":"USAKS0501869L","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Altus (WAV)","offer_id":26299233862,"sku":"USAKS0501870L","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/6410\/products\/Steve_Roach_-_The_Magnificent_Void.jpg?v=1637675812"},{"product_id":"zeus-faber-below","title":"Zeus Faber - Below","description":"\u003ccenter\u003e\n  \u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 472px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=486464233\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/heartsofspacerecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/below\"\u003eBelow by Zeus Faber\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZeus Faber's relaxed mid-tempo grooves echo the diversity of life, the playfulness of the dolphins and the heartfelt wisdom of the great whales, while wistful slow passages and lyrical songs express the peaceful moments of Life Below.

Twirl a few knobs on this versatile device however, and it can sound like a tool for snakecharmers on Neptune. Tim Clark, in contrast, is not known for any particular instrument, but for his skillful use of nearly any obscure instrument to sound just the right note.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen the two got together originally for 1995's Rain, the result was a stellar example of two self-contained parts coming together to make an even greater whole. Clark's clean tones and percussive arrangements were the perfect contrast and foundation for Braheny's lyrical, sweetly emotive melodies.

Two superb programmatic pieces are served up as well. On \"Time in the Mirror,\" the looking glass shatters inward, revealing the mysteries that lie on the other side, and, on \"A Perfect Evening for Flying Carpets,\" even the imagination-impaired cannot fail to enjoy the exact moment when the carpet lifts off and soars into the starry Arabian night.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThroughout it all, the music is marked by countless subtle nuances that are the hallmark of true craftsmen, and imbued with a unique magic that flows as a natural byproduct of this enchanting collaboration.

The glove compartment was full of tapes which had been sent to Klaus Schulze, the German electronic composer. We zapped through a few - dull, doodly, self-indulgent stuff mostly - before being struck by the welcome sound of restraint. Poignancy. Composition even. The name was Tim Story and he came from Ohio. Before long we'd arrived at our destination, hit the eject button and my back seat companion, Wolfgang Fenchel, pocketed the cassette.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA couple of months later, when visiting the French record label Atem, I came across the name again. A small pile of test pressings, stamped Tim Story Threads, stood forlornly in a corner gathering dust. Atem was about to fold...but more of Threads later. Enter a third country. My friend Wolfgang had sent the cassette to Uniton Records in Norway and a year later the appropriately titled In Another Country was released.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermany, France, Norway... How on earth did the music of one Tim Story end up being courted and modestly feted in such un-rock'n'roll countries? One reason, of course, is that Tim's music is as far removed from rock as you could imagine; its delicate, deeply-felt character having more in common with turn-of-the-century Euro-classicists Debussy or Satie. Another reason might be that Tim's contemporary heroes were mainly European: Czukay, Roedelius, Wyatt, Eno...But perhaps the most practical explanation was that Europe, unlike America, had quite an extensive network of independent record labels which, although small, catered for a myriad of musical tastes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Another Country was a blueprint for everything that was to follow: short, compact vignettes of piano, subtle synthesizer and glissando guitar, with each simple yet painstakingly structured composition suggesting a different kind of tension. \"On the Green Cays,\" its piano and synthesizer countering one another, suggests (climatic?) foreboding, while \"Careen\" with its ethereal, chiming guitars is the calm after the storm. Maximal minimalism?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe summer of 1984 saw the release of the more piano-dominated (though dominated is hardly the word) Untitled. Tracks like \"In This Small Spot\" and \"A Promise and a Plea\" indicated something more personal, private. \"The Seventh Chance,\" with its tender melody, avoids sentimentality by countering the piano with a string-like accompaniment pitched at just the right tension. Instead of mere nostalgia, it looks forward. Instead of a yearning, there is a sense of emotional attainment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThree Feet from the Moon (Tim has always had a knack for delightfully expressive and idiosyncratic titles) appeared a year later. While its palette of color and texture was broader (note the title track), there was no great change in direction, orchestras creeping in, or middle-eights in 9\/16. Simply another exquisite collection of perfectly formed musical miniatures. At a time when electronic music often tended towards rambling, side-long epics, Tim's fondness for distillation and compactness was becoming, by contrast, all the more apparent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe last album for Uniton was the warm, rounded Wheat and Rust (1986). Its congenial Howard Hodgkin sleeve almost gives us a sense of place, but not quite - typical of Tim's music. There's something quietly majestic about \"The Secret Rhythm,\" for example, conjuring up images of prairies or fantastic waterfalls...that is until the sound of something like a shakuhachi flute transports us to the privacy of a Japanese ornamental garden. Yet it is less a sense of place and more a sense of feeling which characterizes Tim's music, no more so than on \"Chanarambie,\" included here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMention must now be made of Threads, the not-to-be debut album. Originally scheduled for 1981, it seemed destined never to be until the Eurock label stepped in and, together with some extra tracks, released it properly in 1992. These early recordings are certainly more electronic in nature than what was to follow, and to an extent more rhythmic than melodic. \"A Thousand Whispers,\" though, is different again, having virtually no rhythm or melody. \"The Moors,\" meanwhile, is pure soundscape, all delayed drip-drop of rain and ominous sustained guitar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tension or 'edge' in Tim's music has distinguished him from a great number of his contemporaries. Things are rarely as they seem; an innocent melody is countered with a more knowing refrain, a jaunty veneer belies an attendant uneasiness. You get the feeling that, despite the beautiful melodies, there's often some nagging doubt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbridged, then, is a catalog of emotions all perfectly parceled up in miniature. The pieces are modest in scale, private in nature, but live with them and they will reveal more of their character with each listen. Tim, of course, has since developed his style with subsequent releases, including the recent Beguiled and The Perfect Flaw, on Hearts of Space. But Abridged is a timely and welcome reminder of - or indeed introduction to - Tim's early music. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11066\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposed and Produced br Tim Stori\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginal tracks recorded and mixed 1979-86 by Tim Stor\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eat Seventh Chance Studio, Maumee, OH and Scharren\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStudio.

ROBERT RICH.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA seamless fusion of digital and acoustic sound environments, navigating strange domains. A Troubled Resting Place is an arresting document of the recent solo work of experimental electronic composer ROBERT RICH. Collecting previously published tracks from a number of small-run labels on the international scene, the album presents Rich's contemporary vision with stunning clarity, exhibiting the seamless fusion of digital and acoustical environments that has proven central to the composer's more than decade-long span of recorded work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"The title originally came out as a description of the music,\" Rich explains. \"I was going for this quality of a sort of static slow-burn; music that contained an atmosphere, not dissonant or dark, but a little troubled.\" Composed during a time of transition in Rich's own life, the album explores the sort of extended, contemplative droning characteristic of his earliest work, but is here fleshed out with organic arrangements of shape, hue, and texture that expand the individual tracks into vast, immersive environments that suggest much to the active listener. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the material originating on projects for labels like TimeBase, Side Effects, Projekt, and Amplexus, A Troubled Resting Place also offers a probing, more outbound side to Rich's solo guise. \"I like compilations because they reach a different audience and they allow me to be more experimental,\" Rich says. Though reminiscent of his recent solo work with B. LUSTMORD, much of the material was actually completed before their 1995 HOS collaboration, Stalker, and finds Rich foregrounding elements of composition and sound design previously more foundational to his solo work. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEmploying instruments in terms of mutational possibility instead of harmonic or melodic ends in themselves, these compositions breathe a foreignness accentuated by their titles (\"The Simorgh Sleeps On Velvet Tongues,\" \"Bioelectric Plasma\"). As the composer explains, \"a lot of the sounds I use come about through a sort of careful mangling.\" Synths, steel guitar, flutes, and clay pots, but also field recordings, incidental noise, and the internal artifacts of digital processing all become points of origin in a continual process of musical regeneration, an entropic play of texture and tone that invites exploration. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"In my music I aim for a certain beauty,\" Rich explains, \"but a beauty which is informed by a kind of questioning, aspects of doubt.

The late 1970s was a very exciting time for me, both in terms of personal growth and laying a new musical foundation. I had been playing guitar since I was about 14 (1962), first in surf music bands, then backing up concert artists such as The Lovin Spoonful and Paul Revere and the Raiders, later evolving to acid rock, and finally, in the mid 1970s, playing in a Las Vegas style revue. In 1967 I began to evolve my own personal music and explore musically in non-traditional ways, starting with compositions for guitar, organ, voice, and processed tape. These early sonic explorations were musical hieroglyphics for the inner and outer changes I was experiencing. At first, the only frame of reference my audience had for my private music was the drug experience. Over the years, the music grew and evolved but I still had no public context to define and develop into support for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1975 I met Emilie Conrad-Daoud and her husband Gary at a workshop in my hometown of Tucson, Arizona. I had been playing music in local bands, had built my first recording studio, and was producing commercials. Gary was playing music for Emilie's workshops using a Mini Moog synthesizer and processed tape loops. His music resonated with the sensibilities of my private explorations. And he had a context for his work. During their stay in Tucson we had a chance to hang out together and share our music and visions. By the time they left I had been invited and encouraged to move to Los Angeles, study with Gary and Emilie, and play music at the Continuum studio. Within two weeks my girlfriend Susan Harper and I tied up all our loose ends in Tucson and moved to LA! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt their studio I met and played with Don Preston of the Mothers of Invention, and Craig Hundley, with whom I formed the free jazz trio Alivity and later began my explorations in film composition. I also played with Fred Stofet, an amazing percussionist who bowed cymbals and played trumpet-like sounds through various hoses. Several years later, synthesist Kevin Braheny also joined the studio. The body of the work was performing live music on a daily basis for classes of Emilie's students who had come to participate in the process that she called \"Continuum.\" At that time, Continuum included ritual meditations, breathing and sounding explorations, and what Emilie called \"cellular movement.\" Along with the class work, there was often opportunity for live public performances. By 1977, I had formed a small independent record label with Susan Harper and a close friend and investor, David Breuer. This was the year of our first releases, Desert Moon Walk and Sustaining Cylinders. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the release of Ancient Leaves in 1978, I performed a concert series in Los Angeles and Berkeley called \"The Voice of the Dragon.\" The concerts were based on a dream realm I had been entering in which there was no differentiation between sound, movement, and color. To bring these dreamings into concert form, I worked with dancers Susan Harper and Emilie Conrad Da-oud and lighting designer Marianne Schneller. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust before traveling to Berkeley to perform, I received a call from Stephen Hill, who had a radio program on KPFA-FM in Berkeley on Thursday nights called Music from the Hearts of Space. He had been listening to Ancient Leaves and invited me to be interviewed on his show while I was in Berkeley for the concert. At that time he hosted his show with his former partner Anna Turner. This was the beginning of my long association with Stephen and Hearts of Space. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis CD features music from the early albums Desert Moon Walk [1977], Ancient Leaves [1978], Morning Jewel [1979, re-released on CD in 1985 as Jewel], Lyra [1983], Light Play [1983, re-released on CD in 1984 as M'ocean], and Floating Whispers [1987]. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the recording of the earliest of these works, \"Vicki's Dance\" and \"Desert Moon Walk,\" I was playing live at the Continuum studio. The source material for these pieces was taken from those early live performances. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Ancient Leaves\" and \"Elysian E\" were two of my first composed pieces. They were recorded in 1977 for release by my record label Continuum Montage. On them I wove the sound of the Mini Moog, Yamaha CS-80 and other early electronic instruments with a Finnish kantele, Gregorian Chants, and my own voice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1979, with the piece \"Morning\" I began weaving ambient recordings made during my travels into the fabric of the music. These early field recordings were made with a cassette recorder and a pair of Pearl microphones. For \"Morning\" I recorded the ambiance of a desert sunrise outside Tucson, Arizona, and early morning sounds of the jungle village of Yelapa, Mexico. \"Jewel\" was created on the \"Eikosany\" vibes, an instrument created by Erv Wilson. The \"Eikosany\" is a set of vibes with 20 tones to the octave. The raw recording was made by fading up the microphone after the impact of the mallet on the bar. This created a soft envelope for each note without the sharp sound of the mallet striking the metal. The recording was then slowed down and processed. The vocals were sung by Marsha Lee and then recomposed and edited to fit the piece. \"Night Currents\" was recorded late one night in Big Tujunga Canyon in Southern California. While hiking up the canyon, I had a close call with a rattlesnake who was out looking for a midnight snack. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Subterranean Ambiance,\" \"Rivers of Rhythm,\" and \"The Dragons Dream World\" were recorded with sculptor George Landry's Lyra Sound Constellation, an installation at the Double Rocking G Gallery in Los Angeles in the spring of 1983. 'Lyra' was a gigantic electronic harp over 35 feet across and 20 feet high, with 156 strings tuned in a microtonal scale. One played the instrument by moving through it while bowing and plucking the strings. I also collaborated with George Landry on \"Landlight,\" featured on my 1993 Hearts of Space album Sacred Site. All these pieces were recorded live with the instrument. One of my concerts with Lyra was featured on Ripley's Believe It or Not on ABC Television. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Much of the material on this album was recorded on a four track analog tape recorder with no noise reduction.  Every effort has been made through digital mastering to bring the material up to current standards.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"descript\"\u003e- Michael Stearns, Santa Fe, New Mexico, 1996\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11068\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll music composed, performed, produced, recorded, and mixed by Michael Stearns.

I remember one meeting held in Topanga Canyon with myself, Gary David, Stephen Hill, Georgia Kelly, Steven Halpern and others, to discuss what we could do about being labeled \"New Age.\" Nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInitially many of us did earn our bread and butter through a loose association with the New Age movement. At the time there were no formal distribution channels for such music, and many emerging artists made extra income on the New Age fair circuit. These were large public gatherings where people hawked everything from meditation techniques to communal life styles. We would travel around the country to different cities several times a year, set up booths and introduce the public to our music. Georgia Kelly, Constance Demby, Iasos, Steven Halpern, and Ethan Edgecomb of Fortuna Records were some of the others selling their music at these events. It was great exposure. During and after the shows we would get together to network, and exchange ideas. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs my main gig from 1975-1981, I played music for Emilie Conrad-Da'oud's Continuum Studio in Los Angeles. At Continuum, I was creating a live musical context for participants who were exploring what it might mean to be human in other than our habitual enculturated ways, through breathing, sounding, ritual meditations, and \"cellular movement.\" It was a perfect context for my musical explorations and development, free from stylized musical forms and intonations. We created new musical instruments and new expressions, and wove into the fabric styles and instruments from other musical traditions. It was a very exciting time. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne of my other gigs was performing live at Brugh Joy and David Spangler's annual year-end conference at Asilomar, California. At this conference I would play live for the participants, along with other artists like Constance Demby, Larkin, Sandy Hirschman, Paul Abell, Georgia Kelly, Susan Osborn, and poet David Whyte. Stephen Hill had a large six channel surround sound system installed in the main hall, and he would spatially design and engineer all of the audio for us. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSteve Roach and I lived a few blocks away from each other and got together frequently, often helping with each others' projects. There was competition and camaraderie. As we were driven to create a musical metaphor for our experiences and explorations, the music evolved. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConcurrent with my other musical explorations, I began learning how to score music to picture and the technology of music recording for film. From 1979 through 1983, I worked with friend and composer Craig Huxley at his home studio in Sherman Oaks. The film scoring work varied from exploitation films like Schizoid to documentaries like ABC's The World of Explorers, and culminated in engineering the music for Firefox and Dreamscape for veteran film composer Maurice Jarre. In 1984, director Ron Fricke asked me to score the IMAX film Chronos, my first major solo effort. For Chronos I installed a six-channel discrete surround monitoring system in my studio in Santa Monica. This allowed me to compose an architectural score (along with the musical score) for the music and film soundtrack within the virtual theater environment of my studio. It also gave me the capability of producing and mixing sound tracks for large format films, which I immersed myself in for the next seven years. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis CD features music from my early albums Ancient Leaves [1978], Light Play [1983, re-released on CD as M'ocean in 1984], Plunge [1986], Floating Whispers [1987], and several previously unpublished pieces. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI composed and recorded Ancient Leaves at Continuum in the spring of 1977 and performed it live in August of that year at the \"7-7-77\" concert event in Ocean Park, California. The event featured myself, Francisco Lupica and his \"Cosmic Beam Experience,\" dancer Lisa Walford, and other early New Age artists. After the release of Ancient Leaves on vinyl in 1978, I traveled to the San Francisco Bay area to perform \"The Voice of the Dragon\" concert series. While there, I met Stephen Hill and his former partner Anna Turner and was interviewed by them on their program Music From the Hearts of Space. At that time it was broadcast on Thursday nights on KPFA in Berkeley. Stephen was very interested in the context from which my music emerged, and shortly after the interview he traveled to Los Angeles and studied with Emilie for a month. While exploring at Continuum he stayed with me and Susan Harper, and we began to lay the foundation for what would be a long association that still continues. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1980, Susan Harper and I were married and I composed the piece \"Marriage Chords\" for the wedding. I performed it live at the wedding ceremony on the Serge modular synthesizer and recorded it with no overdubs. It was released initially on Light Play in 1983, and then re-released on M'ocean in 1984. In 1984, I arrived back in Los Angeles after traveling to Europe and Egypt with the Chronos film crew, and found a huge pile of new instruments and tape recorders literally sitting on my doorstep. \"Voyager,\" a piece that I had entered in the Roland\/Teac synthesizer tape contest, had won both First Place and Grand Prize. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Three Faces of the Goddess Theme\" and \"Her Way\" were created for a series of performances at the Asilomar conference, a collaboration between myself and dancers Susan Harper, Georgianne Cowan, Vicki Esken, Carolyn Conger, Sheila Rosen, and Stephanie Franz. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI released the albums Plunge in 1986 and Floating Whispers in 1987 between film projects. Plunge was a return to the guitar and some of the instruments and musical styles I had explored earlier in my life, while Floating Whispers was an album of ambient music. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"At the Bath\" features early morning ambiance recorded near a water garden at an estate designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in California's Valley of the Moon. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Almost Daybreak\" was recorded using an early Oberheim system. This consisted of an OB-8 eight voice digitally controlled analog synthesizer, DMX drum machine, and DSX sequencer. It was the first system of its kind to integrate these components - the first digitally controlled \"music workstation.\" Most of the other synthesizer work was done on a Serge Modular analog synthesizer, a favorite of that era. Kevin Braheny had introduced me to the Serge system. He was working for Serge at the time, and we were both playing live music and composing at the Continuum Studio. The tones created on the Serge became early trademark sounds, and you can still hear them in Kevin's and my music today. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMuch of the material on this album was recorded on a four track analog tape recorder with no noise reduction.

In considering the title of Halcyon Days, the landmark collaboration between Steve Roach, \u003cspan class=\"descript\"\u003eStephen Kent and Kenneth Newby,\u003c\/span\u003e note these definitions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHalcyon: \u003cbr\u003ecalm; peaceful; tranquil: halcyon weather. \u003cbr\u003eprosperous: the halcyon years. \u003cbr\u003eWebster goes on to explain the Greek origin of the word, dating from 1350-1400 B.C. Alcyon refers to the kingfisher bird of classical legend who would nest on the waters after they were calmed by the gods for a period of two weeks each year during winter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis final definition relates to the circumstances in which the trio came together to make this recording over two weeks surrounding the Christmas holiday in 1995. These three men, whose lives could at the best of times be described as hectic and turbulent, found a period of grace and calm under the Sonoran desert sunshine while the rest of the nation was deluged with snow and freezing temperatures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith only this short block of time held in common, the trio gathered with their families at Roach's Arizona home and studio, The Timeroom. There was no predetermined composing or recording strategy. They allowed their various musical influences free rein in the studio and in discussions over long walks in the desert and evening meals together. Sounds from Mexico, Indonesia, Australia and Africa were woven through electroacoustic soundscapes of hybrid trance rhythms and samples, colored and shaded by washes of shamanic textures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn their respective aesthetics, each musician is intimately familiar with the ways in which history, spirit, myth, lore and origin, operate and inform the many levels of the world of sound. To realize the project the artists employed myriad percussion instruments, keyboards, didgeridoos, and studio atmospherics such as \"amphibious dreamings,\" \"sampler shapeshifting\" and \"Max Objects,\" as well as the seeming cooperation of the divine, breathing its blessings upon the winter desert.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Halcyon journey is both a recording of events that surrounded the three collaborators (\"First Day,\" \"Slow Walk at Stone Wash,\" and \"Riding The Atlas,\") and an aural, metaphoric, iconographic one as well (\"Rainfrog Dreaming,\" \"Snake Brothers,\" \"Calyx Revelation\" and \"Kingfisher Flight.\") The title track begins the journey, opening the gateway of rhythm toward the meshed landscapes of the primitive within. We can discern the various elements at work, but they seem unfathomable until given context by the ambiguous strategies employed by the collective. They speak from the depths as they enter them, unflinching, curious, and full of awe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHalcyon Days explores via the extensive, diverse instrumental talents of Roach, Newby and Kent, the essential nature of sound itself: not merely what it is, but what it is created from, and in turn, what it creates. Looking under a forever shifting rhythmic surface, this recording, in a similar manner to Roach's other collaborations, Suspended Memories, Forgotten Gods and Earth Island, reveals the elemental and mystical spaces which swirl endlessly in the fluid textures of the sonic universe. This is music that names and erases itself while simultaneously naming its other. It reverses its body and logic, always searching for the elusive center where things previously thought to be oppositional converge. It conjures images, shapes and states of light and darkness, temporally bringing them to the fore while acknowledging their evolutional transience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe eight selections which make up the album emerged from the aether of the trio's collective creative potential. Each day's work sculpted yet another structure from the depths of pure improvisational invention. The results are intense and flowing; they bend and twist without breaking because of a unanimity of purpose. Each musician contributed by listening, executing and reacting to fissures and walls in the aural atmosphere. Goals were never defined, they were discovered -in the place where silence and energy exchange faces.

Here's the very best of this ground-breaking group's first seven albums. The German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen once said that concepts of beginnings and endings in music were artificial. \"To present a work of art with a particular beginning and end is only an illusion,\" he proclaimed. \"It is one proposition of an excerpt of time, the timeless time.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCoyote Oldman lives in this time. With the first breath into their flutes, they open a gateway into this timeless world of sound. Between that first breath and the last exhalation, Coyote Oldman pulls down a sound that could have come from some mythical gathering in a prehistoric kiva, or a cyberspace meeting 20 minutes into the future.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe navigation chart for Coyote Oldman's odyssey can be found on the title track of their first album, Night Forest. It opens with a simple solo flute calling out across a canyon of digital echo. For 95% of the Native flute albums out there, that's as far as the trip goes. For Coyote Oldman's MICHAEL GRAHAM ALLEN and BARRY STRAMP it's just the beginning, as the piece evolves into a serpentine melody, joined by one, then another flute weaving ghost echoes and sympathetic resonances.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTheir name comes from Oldman Coyote, the trickster and sometimes fool of Native American mythology. It was the name of Allen's flute company and it hung on, even though none of those characteristics would apply to Coyote Oldman. But Allen and Stramp do play Native flutes, as well as Incan pan-pipes and ocarinas and they use Native American iconography to give their music some kind of metaphorical-spiritual grounding.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDespite these Native cultural connections, Allen and Stramp make no glorification of their fractional Native ancestry. Instead, Coyote Oldman operates from a core sound in which many cultures are embodied. As much as they are playing Native music, you could also say they're playing Medieval hymns, 20th century space music or Tibetan chants. Coyote Oldman draws intrinsic links with other cultures, evoking, but not playing, the shakuhachi flute of Japan and the bansuri flute of India. On \"Lunar Symphony\" they sound like a cathedral pipe organ, with unimaginably low flutes booming out a rolling pedal tone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlabama-born Michael Graham Allen met Oklahoma-bred Barry Stramp in 1981 at an Oklahoma City crafts fair. Allen was there selling his hand-made Native flutes. At the time renowned Native flutist R. Carlos Nakai hadn't yet ignited the Native flute boom, and they were still a curiosity bordering on oblivion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAllen is the founder, principal flutist and composer of the group. He is also the craftsman and earth voice of the duo. He researches the history of his instruments, tracking down flutes from many countries, but especially Native cultures of the western hemisphere. On this album you can hear flutes that Allen may have made a few days before the recording and clay ocarinas that might date back hundreds of years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBarry Stramp is the modernist of the group. Classically trained in concert flute and composition, he also studied engineering and physics. That means he can drop references to Pierre Boulez and IRCAM as well as DSP and FFT processing into a conversation that started about live performance. It's Stramp's skill at studio manipulation that turns the raw material of Allen's flutes into the expansive soundscapes that are Coyote Oldman. They work together, manipulating the sound in real time, feeding back off the echoes, reverb, and harmonization as if creating a superflute. On pieces like \"Ancient Light,\" they use these studio transformations to create traceries in the air as the high flutes descend through the atmosphere.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is a remarkable synergy between these musicians. As soon as Allen would hear one of Stramp's manipulations, like his pan-pipes pitched down a few octaves, he'd go home and invent an instrument that would give him the same effect acoustically. One of these inventions, the C# Bass Flute, looks like the overgrown child of a bassoon and a Native flute. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor Coyote Oldman nothing is pure, but everything is purity. They mix technologies, create hybrid flutes and even bring in other instruments like Stramp's Chapman Stick on \"Iron Wood,\" and MICHAEL FITZSIMMONS's percussion on \"Dawn Procession.\" On \"Compassion,\" the mournful soprano of singer HUI CHENG of the Chinese National Opera is etched across Coyote Oldman's solemn bass flutes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor the most part, however, they stay, in Allen's words, \"in our own backyard.\" You can hear Stramp playing shakuhachi and bansuri flutes on his solo album A Sky of Dreams as well as on Invisible Rhythm with his group, Satori. But in Coyote Oldman, it's strictly wind instruments from the New World.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"The Shape of Time,\" the most recent track on In Beauty I Walk, points to new directions for Coyote Oldman. Flutes sing like enormous train-whistles, creating Doppler effects through metallic tamboura-like drones, mysterious percussion and disembodied voices. It seems like no less than the sound of the universe opening up before you. For Coyote Oldman, that really isn't such a new direction after all. They are, as Stockhausen suggests, surfing the winds of a timeless sound.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration:

Yet it is no mystery that the greatest of emotions, love for another person, has inspired more words than all the material riches in the world combined. This is because, on some level we know that love is our reason for being and that when we love, we step outside the finite confines of the human condition and glimpse something eternal. But when true soulmates encounter each other, an even greater love unfolds; a love that was written in the stars before the world began. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is to this love between soulmates that Raphael turns his attention on his fourth Hearts of Space\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e release, Intimacy: Music for Love. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRooted in Neo-Romanticism, brimming with fiery passion, Intimacy is a tour de force of emotionally evocative musical expression.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMore than on any prior release, the piano is front and center on each track, allowing a full appreciation of Raphael's prodigious keyboard technique.

Haunting phase shifts, metallic chords and vast sonic panoramas guide you into soft alien realms: very gentle and sweet. When seen from an unfamiliar viewpoint, even the most familiar object can seem outlandishly alien. Under extreme magnification, oil on the surface of water is a rioting nebula of color; an eggshell is a new planet of plunging valleys and treacherous cliffs. These perceptual cracks in the everyday insure that nothing can be too familiar, that alien encounters may be as likely found within as \"out there.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFissures, the new collaboration between conceptual electronic composers ALIO DIE (Stefano Musso) and ROBERT RICH, is the soundtrack for such psychic displacements, an acoustic and electronic report on the commerce between nature and technology, and structure and amorphism. The music is a rendezvous of divine symmetries, balancing Alio Die's centerless, synthetic beds of sound and Rich's subtle progressions and instrumental arcana. Characterized by recognizable shifts in color - from the strangely familiar surges of half-remembered novenas, to the rhythmic nodes that reflect nature's ceremony - Fissures marks a unique juncture in two innovative artists' careers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Stefano and I met in 1991, when he wrote asking me to contribute to a compilation, and sent me a CD of his debut album, Under An Holy Ritual. I thought it was excellent, and we quickly formed a strong musical rapport,\" explains Rich. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Stefano is a sound constructionist who is very sensitive to layers and slow, subtle juxtapositions. His music has a real nostalgia, eerie but not dark. His contribution is sometimes more felt than heard.\" Musso's role in plotting many of the abstract sounds and drones on Fissures yields some trademark Alio Die moments, such as the haunting phase shifts of \"Mycelia\" and strange metallic chords of \"The Road to Wirikuta.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBonds to the natural world played a strong part in the conception of Fissures, as Rich explains. The album's vast sonic panoramas have origins in both theoretical and practical considerations: \"I know it's a controversial thing to say, but synthesizers aren't capable of certain things. The organic, animal connection you have to the sound making process is lost. That's why Stefano and I approached the recording by employing all the technologies available to us, which includes many acoustic instruments. The sound sources on Fissures are amazingly acoustic, while electronic processing plays a role in setting the atmosphere.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLikewise, the perceptual cracks through which the listener falls are those that derange the common outlook of the world. \"In the microcosmic world, when you look at details under a microscope, you get a sense of the vastness of minutiae. The hugeness of the music in Fissures mirrors the hugeness of the single-celled organism when seen acutely, closely.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFissures also marks a departure from Rich's so-called \"dark ambient\" work that has populated several memorable compilations over the past three years, and collected on Fathom's A \u003cem\u003eTroubled Resting Place\u003c\/em\u003e. This too draws back to the album's central motif and title: the cracks in the world that allow passage into realms both alien and imminent. \"A 'fissure,' in the shamanic sense,\" says Rich, \"is the point where you dive between worlds. The connection for me in this metaphor is that the journey is undertaken for healing purposes. Stefano and I took a similar journey in our collaboration, and what we brought back is surprisingly gentle, although not without its shadows.\"\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11076\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Stefano Musso (Alio Die) samples, textures and drones\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRobert Rich synths, flutes, percussion, dulcimer, steel guitar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll compositions 01987 by Robert Rich and Stefano Musso\u003cbr\u003ePublished by Amoeba Music\/BMI | Administered by Liminal Music\/BMI\u003cbr\u003eCheck the Robert Rich Web page at http:\/\/www.amoeba.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecording Robert Rich and Stefano Musso\u003cbr\u003eat Soundscape, Cambria, Nov-Dec, 1996.

By maintaining an awareness of the harmonic series and its various expressions into whole numbered ratios, I wanted to fathom the interactions between melody, timbre, rhythm, harmony and tuning. Just Intonation (a tuning system based on whole numbered ratios between frequencies) provided access to many interrelationships among these musical elements. The tunings, which I first explored in Numena, opened my mind to a more unified approach to music, where harmony and timbre merge, where melodies interact with rhythmic cycles, where both chords and poly-rhythms emerge from the same interval relationships. While I am very interested in these relationships, I also wanted to avoid getting bogged down in rigid formulae. I wanted this music to be emotionally compelling, with a core of humanity informing the mathematics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI found metaphors in the abstract patterns of Islamic design, whose symmetry only serves to accentuate a sense of unity and flowing form. Like the artwork and visual patterns which inspired Geometry, this music should show a balance between structure and freedom. Improvisation plays an important role throughout Geometry (as it does in all of my music). The cyclic rhythms and counterpoint occasionally give way to long explorations in tone color, just as the harmonic tunings give way to the glissandi of a bamboo flute. Beginning at its most abstract and symmetrical, the music slowly shifts to the organic, exploring the same relationships under different guises, hopefully to reflect a union between the guiding principle (Logos) and its manifestation in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11077\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hearts of Space Records","offers":[{"title":"2xCD","offer_id":10674684739,"sku":"2-HOS-11077","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"MP3 Album","offer_id":10674684803,"sku":"2-HOS-11077D","price":8.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV Album","offer_id":10674684867,"sku":"2-HOS-11077L","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"The Other Side of Twilight (MP3)","offer_id":26649318214,"sku":"USAKS0600362","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Moss Dance (MP3)","offer_id":26649386438,"sku":"USAKS0600363","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Numen (MP3)","offer_id":26649428294,"sku":"USAKS0600364","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"The Walled Garden (MP3)","offer_id":26649441734,"sku":"USAKS0600365","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Primes Part 1 (MP3)","offer_id":26649546310,"sku":"USAKS0600366","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Primes Part 2 (MP3)","offer_id":26649575494,"sku":"USAKS0600367","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Interlocking Circles (MP3)","offer_id":26649601286,"sku":"USAKS0600368","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Geometry of the Skies (MP3)","offer_id":26649628486,"sku":"USAKS0600369","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nesting Ground (MP3)","offer_id":26649649478,"sku":"USAKS0600370","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Geomancy (MP3)","offer_id":26649716230,"sku":"USAKS0600371","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Amrita (Water of Life) (MP3)","offer_id":26649757574,"sku":"USAKS0600372","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Logos (MP3)","offer_id":26649771718,"sku":"USAKS0600373","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"The Other Side of Twilight (WAV)","offer_id":26649831238,"sku":"USAKS0600362L","price":2.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Moss Dance (WAV)","offer_id":26649898950,"sku":"USAKS0600363L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Numen (WAV)","offer_id":26649936070,"sku":"USAKS0600364L","price":1.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"The Walled Garden (WAV)","offer_id":26649958406,"sku":"USAKS0600365L","price":1.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Primes Part 1 (WAV)","offer_id":26649985350,"sku":"USAKS0600366L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Primes Part 2 (WAV)","offer_id":26649991558,"sku":"USAKS0600367L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Interlocking Circles (WAV)","offer_id":26650037958,"sku":"USAKS0600368L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Geometry of the Skies (WAV)","offer_id":26650062662,"sku":"USAKS0600369L","price":1.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nesting Ground (WAV)","offer_id":26650084934,"sku":"USAKS0600370L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Geomancy (WAV)","offer_id":26650117830,"sku":"USAKS0600371L","price":1.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Amrita (Water of Life) (WAV)","offer_id":26650141126,"sku":"USAKS0600372L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Logos (WAV)","offer_id":26650169478,"sku":"USAKS0600373","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/6410\/products\/Numena-_-Geometry.png?v=1449861503"},{"product_id":"paul-sauvanet-nomad","title":"Paul Sauvanet - Nomad","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrench composer PAUL SAUVANET's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eNomad \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecreates a widescreen journey to exotic cultures in North Africa, India, Spain, and beyond.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNomad achieves a rare balance between classical form and ambient atmospherics with an orchestral style full of subtlety, beauty, and power.

It features fine sax work by SYLVAIN TEJERIZO which soon gives way to the sounds of clarinet, flute and oboe weaving around bowed and muted pizzicato strings. When the music reaches its initial peak, snare drums and castanets urge the journey on with new passion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album ends with a return to the western classical tradition. \"Land of the Angel\" is a beautifully orchestrated adagio not unlike the recent work of the Polish composer Henryk Gorecki. A long brooding introduction leads to a lyrical interlude which takes flight on the astonishingly beautiful voice of soprano CLAUDE HERMINE HUGUENEL. The most telling lines of the libretto are translated:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou, my beloved\u003cbr\u003eMy Angel of All Wanderings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe theme of journeys and travelers has finally become a reverent paean to a being who watches over us, guides us on our journeys, and protects us from harm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Land of the Angel\" was written while Sauvanet was recovering from a serious injury, and part of his healing process involved utilizing his imagination to envision a place where creatures like this angel might exist. He even created a new language for this imaginary land which resembles German. It is in this invented language that Huguenel sings the emotional, poetic text of \"Land of the Angel.\" This piece is fully comparable to Gorecki's enormously popular Symphony No.3: The Symphony of Sorrowful Songs and the performance Sauvanet has drawn from this unknown French soprano is possibly more beautiful than Dawn Upshaw's famed reading of the Gorecki.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReal or imagined, Paul Sauvanet views the multicultural landscape with a composers ear, a painters appreciative eye and a playwrights sense of drama. Listeners could not hope for a better guide, and the cultures he chronicles could not hope for a more sympathetic advocate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11079\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hearts of Space Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":10675035715,"sku":"2-HOS-11079","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"MP3 Album","offer_id":10675035843,"sku":"2-HOS-11079D","price":8.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV Album","offer_id":10675035971,"sku":"2-HOS-11079L","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oasis (MP3)","offer_id":26652623046,"sku":"USAKS0600343","price":0.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nomad (MP3)","offer_id":26652655494,"sku":"USAKS0600344","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Madurai Temple (MP3)","offer_id":26652672838,"sku":"USAKS0600345","price":2.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bolero Excelcis (MP3)","offer_id":26652702022,"sku":"USAKS0600346","price":2.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Land of the Angel (MP3)","offer_id":26652717638,"sku":"USAKS0600347","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oasis (WAV)","offer_id":26652770438,"sku":"USAKS0600343L","price":1.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nomad (WAV)","offer_id":26652784198,"sku":"USAKS0600344L","price":2.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Madurai Temple (WAV)","offer_id":26652808966,"sku":"USAKS0600345L","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bolero Excelcis (WAV)","offer_id":26652823814,"sku":"USAKS0600346L","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Land of the Angel (WAV)","offer_id":26652840198,"sku":"USAKS0600347L","price":3.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/6410\/products\/Nomad.png?v=1449862848"},{"product_id":"oystein-sevag-bridge","title":"Oystein Sevag - Bridge","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeep as the cobalt blue fjords, passionate as a gypsy melody, as elegant as sculpture,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eBridge \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis a masterpiece of contemporary European music from Oystein Sevag.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eØystein Sevåg\u003c\/em\u003e's Hearts of Space premiere extends his fusion of Jazz, Ambient and World music into the Classical dimension.

(We chose this track for the fourth compilation of our successful Celtic Twilight series, Celtic Planet.) \"Cobalt,\" an open improvisation between Oystein on synthesizer and Maria on violin, achieves a level of exalted emotion reserved for classical favorites like Vaughan-Williams \"A Lark Ascending.\" Sevag likens the color cobalt to the quest of the spirit for the deepest and most sublime experiences.

ROBERT RICH's chosen focus as a composer is sound driven by his intense response to music from Middle and Far Eastern cultures and its many expressions of musical tradition, as well as his \"perception of awe for the universe...and how small we are\" as bits of living matter in the Petri dish called Earth. The seven-track release reflects Rich's interest in non-Western music and those elements find their way into his work. Particularly affected by North African\/Egyptian trance, Persian, North Indian classical, and Indonesian gamelan music, Rich wanted to utilize himself \"as a crucible to melt together these influences into something that feels personal.\" Seven Veils conveys Middle Eastern music's ecstatic element, open to the honest ecstasy within itself, and the resultant communal ritual \"magic\" that enthralls so many Western listeners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Unlike a lot of Western adaptations of non-Western music,\" adds Rich, \"I am not adopting musical vocabularies undigested, but absorbing them and trying to make them into my own voice.\" Seven Veils can be heard as an expression of an individual searching for truth, and not a pastiche recognized as a bunch of other cultures' music. Rich wanted every note to be honestavoiding obvious references to established ethnic styles. With collaborators DAVID TORN on guitar, HANS CHRISTIAN (who also records with Robert's group, AMOEBA) playing cello, FORREST FANG's gypsy violin, MARK FORRY's Balkan kaval, and the fretless bass of ANDREW MCGOWAN, Rich mixes in his own keyboards, steel guitar, flutes, and the prevalent hand drums, which serve as the heartbeat amid the flow of Seven Veils.

Meshing synthesized drones with resonant percussion instruments, exotic flutes and considerable studio magic, Franklin and Parkin weave ethereal tapestries which are both beguiling and trance-inducing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"descript\"\u003e  Like elusive phantoms, the seven composi-tions seep out of your speakers, creating a mysterious backdrop for nocturnal musings, and opening a mental space where your senses are heightened to the subtleties of the darkened world around you. It's a place wherein the words of one title, the \"Ghosts In The Landscape,\" can be revealed. Slowly you immerse yourself in the album's dark waters, but rather than return to the surface for air, you stay submerged, swimming deeper into a mysterious underworld to encounter the unknown. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The title is actually a Tibetan word which I came across reading an essay by the Welsh reincarnated lama Ngakpa Chogyam Rinpoche,\" explains Franklin. \"The idea is that the Buddha, in his compassion, left certain spiritual treasures and artifacts to be found by later generations, encoded somehow within particular parts of the landscape. Special lamas are trained to detect these treasures. When they pass the certain spot, the Terma may enter their consciousness, and then it is their skill which will cognitise it into form.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"There are stories that before an audience of hundreds they will cause a rock to open and reveal a scripture or ritual object. The idea I'm drawn to is of the unknown potential of landscape and particular forms within it; the idea that there is this hidden potential in the geometry of the land itself.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn composing, Franklin and Parkin were exploring the dormant possibilities in their own music. Their minimalist approach is deceptively simple, for it is within their rippling walls of sound where one loses oneself. Each piece is another step on the journey. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Djinn\" opens the album with hypnotic frame drum rhythms which dissolve into the fluid ambience and water drums of Water Memory. The more ethereal side becomes dominant in \"Magus\" as a haunting Turkish ney pierces the complex drones which drench the sonic landscape. The track \"Ghosts In The Landscape\" best sums up the record musically and meta-phorically with its spectral synth swirls, ethereal winds, and deeply reverberating drums intertwining in a dark ambient haze.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe last three tracks move deeper into the ambient mode. On the title track \"Terma,\" the ominous whirling of a bullroarer sets an eerie tone as it whips over high-pitched drones, while on the closing tracks \"Plateau\" and \"Serpent Fire,\" Franklin and Parkin keep you submerged within their deep listening domain with a mix of haunting drones, resonating gongs, and spooky synths. While the atmospheric works of TUU and Parkin seethe with subtle intensity, they also soothe the body with their soporific sounds. Thus for different listeners, the music may have different effects. For some, it will be the perfect way to chill out; for others it will spark the imagination, and for still others it will serve as a catalyst for unlocking long-forgotten memories, as has been reported by many at live TUU shows. In every case, these engaging ethno-ambient elixirs will transport you to a very different frame of mind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11087\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCOMPOSED AND PERFORMED BY MARTIN FRANKLIN AND NICK PARKIN\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eALL MUSIC ©1998 FRANKLIN\/PARKIN (MCPS\/PRS) EXCEPT \"DJINN\" BY MART FRANKLIN (MCPS\/PRS)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMODUCED AND MIXED BY MARTIN FRANKLIN\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRECORDED AND MIXED AT BODY MUSIC STUDIO, WINDSOR, ENGLAND\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eENGINERED BY JON BIDGOOD\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMASTERED BY BOB OLHSSON AND STEPHEN HILL AT HEARTS OF SPACE, SAUSALITO, CALIFORNIA\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eART DIRECTION STEPHEN HILL\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDESIGN AND IMAGE TORTURE MICHAEL SNYDER\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCOVER IMAGE ADRIANA IONASCU • INLAY SOURCE PHOTO ROBERT HOLMES, SAUSALITO\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eARTST PHOTOS VAL RYLANDS • INTERIOR TIBETAN MANUSCRIPT SOURCE JOSEPH JACOBS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Hearts of Space Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":10677601539,"sku":"2-HOS-11087","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MP3 Album","offer_id":10677601603,"sku":"2-HOS-11087D","price":8.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV Album","offer_id":10677601667,"sku":"2-HOS-11087L","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Djinn (MP3)","offer_id":26750180038,"sku":"USAKS0600288","price":1.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Water Memory (MP3)","offer_id":26750184518,"sku":"USAKS0600289","price":1.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Magus (MP3)","offer_id":26750191238,"sku":"USAKS0600290","price":1.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ghosts in the Landscape (MP3)","offer_id":26750198982,"sku":"USAKS0600291","price":1.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Terma (MP3)","offer_id":26750211014,"sku":"USAKS0600292","price":1.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Plateau (MP3)","offer_id":26750252166,"sku":"USAKS0600293","price":1.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Serpent Fire (MP3)","offer_id":26750261510,"sku":"USAKS0600294","price":1.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Djinn (WAV)","offer_id":26750694278,"sku":"USAKS0600288L","price":1.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Water Memory (WAV)","offer_id":26750878790,"sku":"USAKS0600289L","price":1.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Magus (WAV)","offer_id":26750888070,"sku":"USAKS0600290L","price":1.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ghosts in the Landscape (WAV)","offer_id":26750897734,"sku":"USAKS0600291L","price":1.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Terma (WAV)","offer_id":26750994886,"sku":"USAKS0600292L","price":1.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Plateau (WAV)","offer_id":26751005510,"sku":"USAKS0600293L","price":1.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Serpent Fire (WAV)","offer_id":26751059142,"sku":"USAKS0600294L","price":1.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/6410\/products\/Terma.png?v=1449863429"},{"product_id":"coyote-oldman-house-made-of-dawn","title":"Coyote Oldman - House Made of Dawn","description":"\u003ccenter\u003e\n  \u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 472px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2605730861\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/heartsofspacerecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/house-made-of-dawn\"\u003eHouse Made of Dawn by Coyote Oldman\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eCoyote Oldman are MICHAEL GRAHAM ALLEN and BARRY STRAMP.

These aurally immersive worlds we continue to explore are unbounded by physical reality and have been likened to synesthesia: seeing sounds, hearing colors. One small boy termed it \"the sound of God singing.\" Another said \"I've heard this music before, it's what I hear when I'm dreaming.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince Michael and I began the synergistic collaboration known as Coyote Oldman in 1985, the hallmark of our sound has been the interactive combination of lyrical primitive flute and sound manipulation improvisations. Though we have often branched out from this core over our previous nine releases, it is the leading voice on this recording. Astride this unique artistic and scientific vehicle, we humbly continue our search for musical truth and beauty across the borders of time and space. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHouse Made of Dawn was recorded over a two year period spanning 1997 to 1999. Michael developed the concept and the exquisite primary melodic motifs that propel this project. He constructed instruments in new modal scales, designed specifically for the recording. I performed prototypical music experiments and researched new chaos-driven sound manipulation techniques in my audio laboratory. We joined forces in the studio for intensive bursts of composing, recording and mixing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI see our process of creating this music as one of discovering sounds that are already there, given the appropriate conditions for them to exist. We grow music in a garden of pulsating air molecules and electrons, planted by breath and dancing neurons, tended by our thoughts and emotions, fed by the light of the past and the promise of the future.

Between that first breath and the last exhalation, Michael Graham Allen and Barry Stramp (who comprise Coyote Oldman) pull down a sound that could have come from some mythical gathering in a prehistoric kiva, or a cyberspace meeting 20 minutes into the future. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir name comes from Oldman Coyote, the trickster and sometimes fool of Native American mythology. It was the name of Allen's flute company and it hung on, even though none of those characteristics would apply to Coyote Oldman. But Allen and Stramp do play Native flutes, as well as Incan pan-pipes and ocarinas and they use Native American iconography to give their music some kind of metaphorical-spiritual grounding. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite these Native cultural connections, Allen and Stramp make no glorification of their fractional Native ancestry. Instead, Coyote Oldman operates from a core sound in which many cultures are embodied. As much as they are playing Native music, you could also say they're playing Medieval hymns, 20th century space music or Tibetan chants. Coyote Oldman draws intrinsic links with other cultures, evoking, but not playing, the shakuhachi flute of Japan and the bansuri flute of India. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlabama-born Michael Graham Allen met Oklahoma-bred Barry Stramp in 1981 at an Oklahoma City crafts fair. Allen was there selling his hand-made Native flutes. At the time renowned Native flutist R. Carlos Nakai hadn't yet ignited the Native flute boom, and they were still a curiosity bordering on oblivion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAllen is the founder, principal flutist and composer of the group. He is also the craftsman and earth voice of the duo. He researches the history of his instruments, tracking down flutes from many countries, but especially Native cultures of the western hemisphere. On this album you can hear flutes that Allen may have made a few days before the recording and clay ocarinas that might date back hundreds of years. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBarry Stramp is the modernist of the group. Classically trained in concert flute and composition, he also studied engineering and physics. That means he can drop references to Pierre Boulez and IRCAM as well as DSP and FFT processing into a conversation that started about live performance. It's Stramp's skill at studio manipulation that turns the raw material of Allen's flutes into the expansive soundscapes that are Coyote Oldman. They work together, manipulating the sound in real time, feeding back off the echoes, reverb, and harmonization as if creating a superflute. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is a remarkable synergy between these musicians. They mix technologies, create hybrid flutes which sing like enormous train-whistles, creating Doppler effects through metallic tamboura-like drones, mysterious percussion and disembodied voices. It seems like no less than the sound of the universe opening up before you. Coyote Oldman are surfing the winds of a timeless sound.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"descript\"\u003e- JOHN DILIBERTO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e2-HOS-11093\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichael Graham Allen | New World Flutes.

The Absolute Sound","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"descript\"\u003e\"If there is a music entirely of our times, one unimaginable just a few years back, then, for me, it is space music even yet in its infancy.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"descript\"\u003e- Harry Pearson, editor, The Absolute Sound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"descript\"\u003ePinch me when this is over...I really want to be sure I remember it when I wake up...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"descript\"\u003eOne of the fondest dreams of any record company is to have their native enthusiasm for their chosen type of music confirmed - first by the public in the form of sales, for that way lies survival; and then by the fraternity of music writers, reviewers, and critics - for that way lies respect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike many independent labels, music isn't just a business for us. Like the artists we publish, sometimes we follow our muse without overmuch thought to the financial consequences. Over the nine years we've been in business, we've learned to seek out specialty markets where we can find support for our chosen obsession.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI've been reading 'high-end' audio publications and buying audiophile equipment for almost ten years now, but I confess it never occurred to me that members of this community of listeners would ever have much enthusiasm for the concerns of a self proclaimed \"spacemusic\" label with a roster of predominantly electronic musicians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo be sure, there always were a few, but when reports reached me through the good offices of my audiophile friend Nick Despotopolous that the legendary Harry Pearson, editor of the premiere audiophile journal The Absolute Sound, was an enthusiast of several of our early releases, I must have stashed it in the corner of my mind labeled Cognitive Dissonance: Try to Understand Later.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI mean, go figure: these guys are supposed to be into the ultimate in literalistic imagery - the goal of reproducing the sound of real acoustic instruments in a real concert hall space. Why should they be interested in the imaginary studio-created sounds and ambiences of spacemusic?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI guess I should have realized that sooner or later they'd get their systems working so perfectly that they'd get restless for something else. Post facto, I deduce that Harry Pearson (known to all simply as HP), a man possessed of several of the best sound systems on this planet at his Sea Cliff, L.I. manse, must have been one of the first to undergo this spontaneous literalist deprogramming. Ironically, to do quality fantasy, you have to calibrate your ears with the image of \"reality\" first.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI might have realized something was up in early 1992 when we started getting more and more requests for promo CDs from the TAS office. Then one summer night I received one of HP's famous guerrilla phone calls. \"YOU KNOW,\" he thundered in his basso profundo drawl, \"I'm frustrated because my favorite spacemusic pieces are scattered all over your catalog. I want to do a compilation CD of the most sonically spectacular cuts.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI must have missed more than a few breaths before I managed a quick NO PROBLEM, HARRY! In very short order the deal was done and we agreed to meet in the fall to do the work. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHP showed up in San Francisco on one of his extended West coast tours in late October. We had a great Japanese dinner and a great night in the studio. From his initial list of fourteen choices,we pared it down on our digital editing system to the sequence of the nine pieces you have here. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile making some copies of the assembly, we started talking about possible cover ideas. My wife and HOS General Manager Leyla Rael Hill remembered an incredible book of photos of the Black Pearls of Tahiti (enhanced by strategic images of Tahitian maidens au naturel) by a French photographer named Michel Roudnitska. She handed it to HP and he immediately seized upon the picture that graces the cover. We moved to our Macintosh graphics workstation, did a few quick scans, added the type, and presto! we had a cover mocked up in about an hour. A few faxes to Tahiti and Paris the next day and we had the repro rights for the image. The whole thing was going entirely too well to be believed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt HP's prompting, I decided to remaster each piece to optimize the quality for playback on audiophile systems. The HOS studio has been equipped with an audiophile grade monitor system for the last seven years, with Thiel CS 3.5 speakers, a Spectral DMA-50 amplifier, a Threshold FET-1 preamp, and Straight Wire Maestro cables, so getting the sound right was a matter of listening a little louder than usual, patient tweaking of the digital equalizer, and balancing the levels between pieces. Happily, mortals with ordinary sound systems will also find the material sounds better than average.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA word about the music: since it all comes from the Hearts of Space catalog it represents the sonic and musical goals of the various artists involved as well as my taste as producer and repertoire director for the label.
