"An interstellar flight on electronic wings."
This is the one hour program aired by Hearts of Space Radio Show on the weekend of February 28, 2011, split to MP3s at 320 kBp/s. My original streamed content is still in the file, if you prefer to hear the whole program at once, also.

Program Introduction by Stephen Hill, Producer:
Since the earliest days of electronic music, composers have developed the natural relationship between electronic sounds and images of cosmic space. Free at last from the limits of physical instruments, they could create vast stereo spaces and sustain tones endlessly with an unlimited palette of pitch, timbre, modulation, and resonance. In time, the electronic studio became a vehicle for virtual space flight. It's a theme we've been pursuing since our 23rd program back in 1983.

The waning days of winter are a particularly good time to take a cosmic vacation. Restless from too much time indoors, we seek expansive sounds and galactic spaces, filled with dark drones or floating harmonies, a sense of adventure and discovery. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, an interstellar journey called COSMIC TRAVELER.

[As a side note, this program gives most focus to the music of French artist Jonn Serre and Phillip Wilkerson, with only 2 pieces by other artists.]
