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. The birds (so to speak) are here assembled in concert/consort on a weekly basis, most weeks, for a free recital of juxtaposed, contrastive, intermingled musics, and for phases, forms, and statements of musical action, reflection, critique, recalcitrance, joy, rest, prayer, revolt, renewal or repair, revolution.....and more. Each week (most weeks), find here a new ensemble/assemblage of classical, folk, ritual, spiritual, avant-garde, experimental, popular, poetic, political, 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, 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.
