To The Oceans of The World

We at Sven Radio would like to dedicate all of our music this week to those wonderful people who watch the oceans. It is important to keep the oceans clean. They are the very means of our survival on Earth. They cover 70% of the planet and contain roughly 97% of our water supply. The oceans of Earth serve many functions, especially affecting the weather and temperature. They moderate the Earth's temperature by absorbing incoming solar radiation (stored as heat energy). The always-moving ocean currents distribute this heat energy around the globe. This heats the land and air during winter and cools it during summer. The world ocean is integral to all known life, forms part of the carbon cycle, and influences climate and weather patterns. However, much of the ocean's depths remain unexplored and it is estimated that over 2 million marine species may exist that we know nothing about. So it is with little wonder that all of us should be vigilant. The pollution levels must be monitored, people must be made aware of the great beauty and depth of our magnificent oceans, and how enormously important they are to the human species. Stop oil exploration in the oceans you damn fools!

One Day In The Life Of Sven Denisovich

The world is in a constant state of flux. Hardly a day passes without any given situation changing. It is not possible to keep abreast of what works musically - even in Sven Land we are constantly seeking the evasive answer to "What will capture our listeners, so that they will stay with us forever?" Playing music that is listened to around the world is a far cry from a local station doing the breakfast show. Looking at our map that pinpoints where our listeners are, we have for example this morning, someone in Israel, Italy, Shanghai-China, Sofia-Bulgaria, Sunnyvale-California, Tokyo-Japan, and Sydney-Australia tuned in. So you see it is not without thought that at Sven Radio we chose our selections carefully. It is truly a mixture of many instruments and compositions where East meets West on a musical level, bringing peace, love, and meditation.

We would also like to wish Professor Roland, from Sven Radio, all the very best. He at this time is carefully travelling around the world. This will take him to many places in his six months abroad, and all of us at Sven who have to stay behind, are insanely jealous. Good luck dear Professor and salutations, enjoy the beauty that is Earth.

The Age of Aquarius

The New Age movement is a Western Spiritual movement that developed in the second half of the 20th century. Its central precepts have been described as drawing on both Eastern and Western spiritual and metaphysical traditions and then infusing them with influences from self-help and motivational psychology, holistic health, parapsychology, consciousness research and quantum physics. It aims to create a spirituality without borders or confining dogmas that is inclusive and pluralistic. Another of its primary traits is holding to a holistic worldview, thereby emphasising that the Mind, Body and Spirit are interrelated and that there is a form of Monism and unity throughout the universe. Let these be guide stones to the age of reason, when logic and truth will take care of us.

It is important to us at Sven Radio that we contribute to the thinking that the mind, body and indeed the spirit, are interrelated. We do this through the selection of our music, which is here to help our listeners achieve their peace of mind and also their feeling of well being. Peace and Love Sven x

Pacific Coast Highway

At Sven Radio we love Jack Kerouac, and The Motor Cycle Diaries of Che Guevara - we love movement out into the free world - the beauty of the Rockies, Big Sur Mountain, the Alpine regions, all come cascading into thought. We are our own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh and dance at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us. So chill out people, take the stress out of your daily lives. Tune in, turn on, and massage the blues away. Peace and Love Sven

So Shines a Good Deed In a Naughty World

And on the hill we found the chapel - broken yet, full of light as if in celebration. Here lies the remains of what used to be so many years ago - a place of worship and more importantly of love. So please enter and relax - take the stress out of your day - listen and you shall find Sven Radio..

"How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank!
Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears; soft stillness and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony..."
