The winter skies are a broad, constantly changing panorama: flat, gray shadowless light....chilled fogs with subtle, desaturated colors.... dramatic dark storm clouds... and brilliant clear days, with infinite horizons of the deepest transparent blue.
The ambient music inspired by these environments displays a correspondingly wide range of tones, textures, and techniques: from foggy soundscapes and dark drones, to crystalline percussion and ethereal harmonics.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a program inspired by the winter skies called ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS. Music is by RUSSEL WALDER, JEFF GREINKE, the KEVIN KELLER ENSEMBLE, PETER GARLAND, DEMPSTER-HEASLEY-RIEMAN, JOHN LUTHER ADAMS, and TIM STORY.

love, love, love this one, especially with the rain. I'm headed up to the snow in a few hours and can't wait to do one of my favorite things: light up all the candles and watch the snow fall while listening to awesome tunes.
Thank you - it's truly a gift.
