Welcome to the audio home page for CONFERENCE of the BIRDS, a weekly radio program/podcast featuring a heterogeneous, intra-continental mix of music, poetry, speech, and song. Released from the wan perniciousness of the ’global village’, the birds are assembled in concert/consort here for a free recital of juxtaposed, contrastive, intermingled musics, and for phases, forms, and statements of musical redress, recalcitrance, recumbence, renewal, revolt, repair, revolution...and more. Listen weekly for a new ensemble of classical, folk, ritual, spiritual, avant-garde, experimental, religious, popular, poetic, political, party-able, danceable sounds and songs, in various genres, forms, formats, and styles, ranging from free-jazz, flamenco, and Javanese gamelan to field recordings, folk songs, and Indian film music, to salsa, samba, disco, Raï, Algerian cha’abi and be-bop. Conference Of the Birds (COB) airs LIVE, Friday evenings, 9:00 - 12:00 midnight, Eastern USA time, on WRFI and WINO (Ithaca/Odessa), community radio for Central New York and the Finger Lakes. Broadcasting to the world on the net via www.wrfi.org and Radio Garden: https://radio.garden/listen/wrfi-ithaca-community-radio/0N0fROGD#google_vignette. Episodes are available 24/7 online. Always free, commercial free, and free of commercial, corporate, or capitalist intent.
