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.

PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TO COB THIS HOLIDAY SEASON. Do so for yourself, or do so in someone else's name. Our modest but nevertheless burdensome overhead bills come due annually in December, and financial assistance ensures the COB's continued existence in mp3 format. We receive absolutely NO PROFIT or SPONSORSHIP of any kind, and rely entirely on host Stephen Cope's time and effort, as well as the kind material contributions of record labels and Cope's often financially irresponsible record shopping habits, to survive. TO HELP TO DEFRAY OVERHEAD COSTS, please locate the PayPal button at our blog/playlist site http://confbirds.blogspot.com/ It is painless and even small donations go a long way.
Thanks in advance for listening and contributing!
