(-05-) Music from the Hearts of Space Radio Show
[Excerpted from the HOS Home Page]
To explore [...] sounds and spaces, in 1973 [producer Stephen Hill] began
Music from the Hearts of Space as a weekly three-hour live radio program
on KPFA-FM in Berkeley, California. Joined a year later by former co-
producer Anna Turner, the show became a weekly habit for thousands of
northern California listeners. Ms. Turner left the program in 1987 to
pursue independent writing and production projects, and Hill now works
with associate producer Neil Harvey and occasional guest producers.
After ten years development as a local program, Music from the Hearts
of Space began national syndication to 35 stations via the NPR satellite
in January, 1983. Within three years, Hearts of Space had signed its
200th station. Now passing its tenth year, it is the #1 contemporary
music program on public radio, carried by over 285 stations, including
30 in the top 40 markets.
evolved into a tightly structured, artfully edited music experience.
With minimal commentary, it combines the best of contemporary
electronics, classical adagios, space jazz, and contemplative acoustic
musics from around the world.
