Though hardly mainstream, the ambient electronic genre attracts an avid legion of tech-savvy fans. Take a trip to a new world, without the magic mushrooms or the risk of arrest. It conjures filmic soundscapes that cry out for visual interpretation: Close your eyes, and make the movie in your mind's eye fit the soundtrack. Often dismissed as "background" music, ambient music challenges listeners to participate in the creative process.
In this below-the-radar genre, which has taken the place of what used to be called "headphone music" (or just "head music," in the '60s and '70s), new sonic frontiers summon encompassing atmospheres - interstellar, aquatic, subterranean - that supplant the sounds, voices and noise bombarding listeners in everyday life. Follow along with track and title information using magical apps like Shazam and Soundhound or the music identification software built in to the Android and Apple mobile operating systems.Often beatless, boneless, even vaporous, ambient spacemusic seeks to transport the listener to another state of consciousness - or another galaxy.
The philosopher Goethe described good architecture as frozen music, so good, spacious music to us is Liquid Architecture. Midnight to 1 Monday morning we present expansive long-form musical structures by artists like Robert Rich, Constance Demby and Steve Roach. Hear extended ambient and space music classics after Hearts of Space.
Playlists available as each program closes. Saturday evenings beginning at 9, veteran broadcaster Michael Ables highlights your ambient, drone, chill, and space music favorites! The program is actually a higher proportion of music from the Hearts of Space record label than the Sunday show!
