Wouldn’t you love to have the chance to speak with some of these distinguished composers personally and probe their thoughts on music? Well, that chance has come and gone since none of these composers are living among us. But at radiOM.org, their voices live on in personal interviews you can hear at the touch of your keyboard. Here you can eavesdrop on unique conversations and concerts recorded between 1949 and 1995 at KPFA Radio in Berkeley.
They still have hundreds of programs yet to digitize and catalogue, and your support can help them get the job done. Furthermore, your gifts ensure that we will keep this service FREE by helping them bear the cost of transferring programs (from reel-to-reel tape, Betamax videotape, cassettes, and DATs) and storing, uploading and cataloguing them.)
Their goal is to keep this service FREE TO ALL, just as we do at turbulence.org. To do so they have relied on foundation and government sources to pay all costs. But the work is outpacing the funding, so now for the first time they ask for your individual understanding and support.
