Hearts of Space #875 India Evolution (5-8-2009) RE-UPLOADED

East Indian


"The sublime world of Indian ambient and devotional music."
This is the one hour program by Hearts of Space Radio Show, first broadcast on the weekend of May 8, 2009. This torrent has been re-uploaded because of a flaw in the original torrent that was preventing a full 100% download.

The original tracklist indicates there are 10 songs in this program, but there are only 7 MP3s in the torrent. The first 3 songs are all included in the first MP3, and the 4th, and 5th, songs are included in the 2nd MP3. All songs are represented, just less MP3s.

Program Notes by Stephen Hill, Producer
The drone...the modal scale...the sinuous, ornamented melodic line. Even without a sitar or a tabla, you know you're enveloped in one of the new Indian influenced strains of ambient music. Hundreds of years ago, while Western music turned right at polyphony, harmony, and the equal-tempered scale, Indian classical music continued to develop the old modal system of scales and natural intervals in a vocal-centered, monophonic style.

Where we created chords and counterpoint, monumental symphonies, hymns and songs, Indian music continued to evolve the melodic sophistication of raga, the rhythmic complexity of tala, and the patient pursuit of mood and depth. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we return to the sublime world of Indian ambient and devotional music...on a program called INDIA EVOLUTION.
