Welcome to the audio home page for the CONFERENCE of the BIRDS, a weekly radio program/podcast featuring a heterogeneous, inter-, intra-, and trans- continental mix of deterritorialized, often endangered music and song.. Counter to the homogenizing tendencies of 21st-century globalism, as well as the taxonomical presumptions of both the marketplace and the academy , COB engages popular, classical, folk, demotic, ritual, religious, ecstatic, political, theatrical, and experimental musics as part of a quasi-archival, quasi-curatorial practice of culture-building. We seek resonance and juxtaposition, edifying ruptures and unruly continuities, between, among, and beyond the thriving peripheries of Modernity — pre- and post- contemporary, pre- and post-Eurocentric— intimating a sonancy of redress, celebration, dissonance, dance, prayer, protest, poetry, and more. COB airs LIVE, Friday evenings, 9:00 - midnight, Eastern USA time, on WRFI and WINO radio, ithaca/Watkins Glen, New York (www.wrfi.org). Online 24/7. Always free.
