ENJOY!

This sunday's show will begin with my newest drum n' bass song "Holy Mesina" which is an interstellar ode to the beatified and nearly cannonized saint, Antonia Mesina. It was written with full flurry on Wednesday February 27th 2008 and hits all the highs and lows with 3 movements during its 7 minute duration.

From there the show will dip and dive into various Obvious World compositions spanning the entire map of conscious creation. No two songs will be alike and your attention span will NOT be tested. Instead this is a journey that I've been wanting to take with you for quite some time, a journey of creativity, an expedition of levity and curiosity full of color and emotion.

This time around there won't be synchronistic beats melding into one another, but rather a meshing of aura's and emotions. An atypical illumination of swirling movements meant to invoke the true essence of creativity. A room-filling ambiance of playfulness and epiphanies. So break out your sketchbooks, your sharpies, your canvases and your spray paint cans and make sure the chicken is marinated proper so your late-night head bobbing bbq can groove along with this magnanimous spread of delightful delicacies.

Tune in early for Theo Bowen's Short List beginning @ 8pm (cst) and you'll be treated to some disco funk, Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes and then on to the big banging sounds of the future past. I know this because I spoke to him while he was shopping the grocery store for exotic nuts and glazes.

Maximum peace and blessings,

--Matt [Obvious World]

"Good lives are being lived right now. New caveats of lifelong fun and growing flowers in boxes on sunny decks and porches...Flowing breezes blowing our hair and tossling our 800 year old smiles across faces we've been and seen. I see you. Forever."

Terence McKenna: ...Adulthood seems to be a freezing of the reflex to play. And then one is forever caught where one was standing at age 25 when one suddenly became intellectually and and esthetically constipated.

Bruce Eisner: Right. And later a lot of the psychologists like Maslow and Jung said that the purpose of our whole life is to keep growing with self-actualization and self-realization. You know, in the earlier stages of Freudianism there is a place where it all ends according to conventional psychology. But in the new psychology, we constantly grow.

Terence McKenna: That's right. Human life that isn't growing is dying.

---------------------------

Tonight's show is a discussion between sequenced sounds, a conversation about the mojo of reality, a talk of what is and what was and what will be.

Tonight's show is fueled by the totally renewable resource known as Pure Bliss. It's an environmentally friendly trip down the corridors of imagination and playfulness composed and woven together by me, Matt Ahearn aka: Obvious World.

The broadcast features music from the following releases on the netlabel Beautiful Eternal: Tender Chunky Reprieve [B.E.#00006], Music for Groovy Living Rooms [B.E.#00009], and Daylilly [B.E.#00010].

Thanks for tuning in and ENJOY THE RIDE!

Happy Birthday Richard Beymer!

There are now 12 releases from Beautiful Eternal, even though the netlabel is officially less than two weeks old.

Come bear witness to this rapidly expanding catalogue and bask in the warmth of the very first KRUU-inspired netlabel. See for yourself what can be accomplished in the spirit of CREATIVE COMMONS!

The new netlabel Beautiful Eternal is the product of a year's worth of education from Sundar Raman and James Moore about just how cool a tool Creative Commons (CC) actually is...I've been producing ambient and tribal electronic music for 14 years and even began my own "traditional" record label 10 years ago, but now the netlabel model with CC at its foundation is clearly the next stage of evolution.

For more info about netlabels, visit this wikipedia entry, and for more info on CC and free-culture movements check out Sundar's show on Tuesdays from 7-8pm and James' open source early morning show daily @ 5 am.

This Sunday night [January 13th, 2008] I'll be airing 3 new releases from Beautiful Eternal: Opus 1 [B.E.#00004], Mythical Proportions [B.E.#00005], and Palindromic Number [B.E.#00011].

The music will range from uplifting and beautiful ambient music to fantastically funny and humorous electronica to down-to-earth tekno.

For a firsthand experience of what KRUU-inspired CC music sounds like, check out my broadcast of original compositions on Sunday nights @ 10 pm central time -- on your radio or on the internet -- its all about KRUU lp 100.1 fm

 Tonite's show continues on with the original compositions of Obvious World's Sound RETROSPEKTIVE... there's tek-hop, drum n' bass, house, experimental and ambient compositions, along with a 30 minute mix --- all designed specifically for you.

The pieces grew from a deep desire to meld together the forms of hip hop with other genres, and then to just explode with odes to great new age psychedelic tribal gatherings organized by little elves in the thick mysterious forest.

Glad to have you traveling along on this adventure! Love, Light and Blessings!

  After a year of playing my own original, fresh and interesting music for the listeners of KRUU FM 100.1 and KRUUFM.COM, I have never once been a disc-jockey who introduced each piece and discussed where or how the music was inspired and created. I would simply weave together 3 hours of totally original journey music and put it out there for you to enjoy, daring you to take from it what you could... Until now.

Tonite I will be selecting and discussing music I composed between May and October of 2006. During the broadcast I will be playing various selections and discussing (sometimes at length) such details as: the historical significance of each piece, the other artists involved in collaborative efforts, and the move of my old record label [freakie people records] towards becoming a net-label focused on creative commons compositions.

If you're a fan of the music I've composed and have ever wanted to know more about the music or the artist, this is your chance. Tonite's show is the first in a series of retrospektives highlighting the original electronic music I've been creating since May of 2006. It is sure to be a unique experience entirely, so tune in and get on board!

All love and light
