Ambient/electronic soundscapes for early Spring
This one hour program of ambient (or meditative/relaxation) music, if you prefer, is the Spring Equinox offering by Hearts of Space Native American Radio. In the words of their program director, Steve Hill: "Call it neo-paganism if you like, but when you work with ambient music, you can't help but be more aware of the natural environment: the time of year, the weather, the turning of the seasons, the solstices, the equinoxes. In fact, the seasons are always turning, but there are special moments, and this week we pass through one of them: the vernal equinox.

Around the 20th of March, the center of the sun aligns directly with the earth's equator — and day and night are approximately equal everywhere on earth. It's the point of balance in the solar energy cycle, halfway between the extremes of winter and summer. Here in the northern hemisphere, most of us are enjoying more daylight, warmer temperatures, flowing water, and more time outdoors. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we bring you the sound of the seasonal transition with an hour of ambient electronics for early spring, on a program called VERNAL CROSSING."

Enjoy! And don't forget to SEED!
