Beyond The Lakes Playlist for May 3, 2009 Playlist Streamed LIVE at wdbx.scientistsuperstar.com This program featured music by Kevin Kendle; Rudy Adrian; Deuter; Michelle Ippolito; Timothy Cooper; Ludovico Einaudi; Fiona Joy Hawkins; David Mauk; Sensitive Chaos; John Foxx & Harold Budd; Lis Addison; and Chris Conway & Llewellyn. May 3, 2009 An old Chinese proverb goes something like this: “Raise your sail one foot and you get ten feet of wind.” That is, a little effort can produce a lot of result. And this is especially true of wind. At one time, of course, we humans relied on naturally produced energy from the basic elements of our planet: wind, running water, sunlight, and geothermal heating in the earth. We seem finally to be returning to that mindset. Driving up to visit our younger son at college in Wisconsin, my wife and I pass the Mendota Hills Wind Farm along Interstate 39 here in Illinois: row on row of tall, sleek turbines, shiny metallic windmills, their long blades sublimely reaching out to the sky and then pointing to the ground. Mendota Hills is just one wind farm, as they’ve come to be called.
The first of our wind turbines here in the U.S. were actually remodeled
local farm windmills. It was not until after the oil shortages in the
1970s that The earliest windmills were built in Persia, primarily used to grind grain. In America, local windmills have been used by farmers and small co-ops for over a century to generate electricity. Today, some 55% of electricity in Europe is generated using wind energy. 3% of electricity in India comes from wind. Worldwide wind generation quadrupled between 2000 and 2006 and appears to be doubling every three years or so. The problem, then, is not with the sustainable resources
themselves. We have lots of wind and plenty of sun, running water, and
geothermal heating. The problems involve producing—and improving—the
technology for efficiently generating power from these sources—and, of
course, improving our energy And there have been other criticisms of wind farms. As panoramic as a wind farm can seem to the casual passerby, for those having to live near them they can become an “eyesore.” I’d bet, though, that if we set our artists to improving the beauty of wind turbines, we could make wind farms works of art as well as of energy. Some criticisms of wind energy production, however, are simply inaccurate. Some claim that wind energy is too expensive. In fact, most experts today indicate that the cost of large-scale wind energy production would be less than the cost of using non-renewable fossil fuels. Some argue that wind is unreliable, too variable. While it is true that we can’t control the wind and so the amount of wind generation can vary at times, the winds in those areas considered ideal for wind farms blow pretty consistently. Moreover, wind energy technology has improved tremendously over the last thirty years and is expected to continue to improve. In his 1843 essay “Paradise (to be) Regained,” Henry David Thoreau noted that wind is “constantly exerted over the globe.” He went on, “Here is an almost incalculable power at our disposal, yet how trifling the use we make of it! It only serves to turn a few mills, blow a few vessels across the ocean, and a few trivial ends besides. What a poor compliment do we pay to our indefatigable and energetic servant!” In his 1860 lecture, “Discoveries and Inventions,” Abraham Lincoln added, “Of all the forces of nature, I should think the wind contains the largest amount of . . . power to move things . . . . As yet, [however,] the wind is an untamed and unharnessed force . . . .” It’s hard to imagine us ever really “harnessing” the wind, and winds
will always change, but change, of course, is always with us, no matter
what we do—no matter what our source of energy—and, as poet Christina
Rossetti once wrote, “Neither you nor I [have seen the wind], but when
the trees bow down And so, this evening, let’s reflect on the power of the wind and our
new wind energy technologies through a program of acoustic and
electronic music entitled “Wind Shrines.” We begin with these warm,
windswept textures by Kevin Kendle from Pure Dreaming. Later, we’ll
hear two airy desert soundscapes by Rudy Adrian from Desert Realms;
graceful, Asian-influenced music by Deuter from Spiritual Healing; more
tranquil, Asian-flavored ambience by Michelle Ippolito from In the
Clouds; the short, delicate title We’re contemplating and, you might say, exalting the wind on our program tonight, especially its potential as an energy resource and the new technologies at work to generate that energy, the new wind turbines that go to make up our new wind farms, “Wind Shrines,” if you will, symbols of our reverence for a force always with us and always moving us Beyond the Lakes. 8:00-8:30pm 8:30-9:00pm We’re contemplating the power of the wind on our program tonight,
including its potential as an energy resource and the new technologies
at work to generate that energy. We begin our second hour with music
that is simultaneously breezy and pensive by David Mauk from 12
Months. We’ll continue, after this, with two tracks of
enigmatic ambience turned electronica by synthesist/percussionist Jim
Combs (aka Sensitive Chaos) from Emerging Transparency; and
then a short windswept soundscape by John Foxx & Harold Budd from
their double-CD collaboration Translucence + Drift Music. “Wind Shrines,” tonight on Music from Beyond the Lakes. 9:00-9:30pm 9:30-10:00pm Jerry Nelms began as the show's sole producer and host. Namdar Mogharreban joined as co-host that summer and began producing his first programs in the fall. Beyond the Lakes airs eclectic new age and contemplative world music, both ambient and rhythmic; electronic and acoustic; instrumental and vocal. Beyond the Lakes is thematically programmed each week. Jerry's understanding of "new age" music: it provides a space for the imagination, and, so, can take many different forms but always functions in that way of allowing the listener space for the play of the imagination.

WVKR-FM Secret Music Playlist for June 14, 2009 Here's my playlist for today, 6/14/09. I was hoping to see Craig D'Andrea and Peter Ciluzzi in concert, but it was unfortunately canceled. So instead I played their music. They're two amazing guitar players on the Candy Rat label. Enjoy.Here's my playlist for Sunday, 6/14/09. This marks my 22nd anniversary of Secret Music. Been a long time. Amazing how much things have changed over the years. I took the opportunity to not only play some newer music, but a few choice rarities I've accumulated over the years. Enjoy.
