Beakuency: Christopher Funkhouser. Mayuko Fujino (Jul 27, 2024)

Hosted by Mayuko Fujino.

Beakuency welcomes Christopher Funkhouser, a writer, musician, and multimedia artist based in Staatsburg, Dutchess county. Chris hosts the POET RAY’D YO radio program at WGXC. His latest project “Media Safari” documents his walks in the woods alongside the Hudson River. The natural sounds he captures that feature many birds and his writing on these “safaris” remind us to cherish each unique and ephemeral moment we experience in nature. He shares how curiosity and technology help us become more attentive and expand our perceptions.

Bird-inspired music of the month: Most Serene Congress, the improvisational musical ensemble, of which Chris is a member.

"Beakuency" invites the local community to be inspired by the joy, beauty, and wisdom bird enthusiasts find in the nature of our neighborhoods. Every episode features an interview with local bird people, plus a freeform mix of sound made by birds and humans inspired by birds, and “Birds of Wave Farm,” a field recording journal from Wave Farm, in Acra, New York. Hosted by Mayuko Fujino. Playlists and photos for the previous shows: https://beakuency.tumblr.com.
