Dark tones echo across a stony gray-green soundscape, ringed by gloom and decay. It's a world of strange smoky atmospheres and floating voices, punctuated by massive attacks and harsh metallic sounds, both chilled...and fiery.
Sounds like some kind of trippy video game, doesn't it?
Now imagine one that takes you on the journey, but without the game.
That, spacefans, is what electronic music was born to do.
We mark this All Hallows' Eve transmission of Hearts of Space in the anxious year of 2009, with a journey through sonic underworlds — gray-green and smoky black, adorned with crimson accents and diaphanous silvery sounds — on a program called GHOSTS.
Music is by TOR LUNDVALL, HOPE SANDOVAL, RICHARD BONE, BUILDING THE CATHEDRAL, BETWEEN INTERVAL, JOE RENZETTI, MINGO, and TROUM.
