Music has a powerful emotional impact on us. It is a unique art form with roots going back to religious ceremonies, tribal rituals, work distraction, and shared moments of joy. 

Sometimes the mere act of hearing a song can embed it into our memory, so that when we hear that song again, not only are we hearing it a second time, but we feel the same rush of emotions we felt when we first heard it, all at the same time. This sort of thing often happens with each subsequent time we hear a familiar song. The emotions are compounded. In a way, it is like a form of time travel. We exist in this moment hearing a song, but also in all the many prior moments we heard the song, all at once.

With this show “Time Into Space” I want to play music that had an emotional impact on me, with the hope that listeners will also feel an emotional connection. Along with new music as I discover it, in the hope of experiencing the same impact on the senses a person might have felt in 1956, hearing Rock N’ Roll for the first time.
