The Beaver Moon ANTENNAE embodies the spirit of industriousness and preparation for the future. As the Beaver Moon rises, symbolizing the time when beavers build their lodges for the winter, this ANTENNAE invites participants to channel their creativity into building and fortifying their own emotional and artistic foundations. The Beaver Moon represents the instinct to create, to prepare, and to thrive in times of change, and this ANTENNAE gathering offers a communal space for reflection, collaboration, and artistic expression.

The Beaver Moon ANTENNAE is a celebration of resourcefulness and the power of collective effort. Through music, movement, and shadow play, participants are encouraged to tap into their inner builder, to work alongside others, and to weave together a shared experience that honors both individual creativity and communal strength. This gathering invites all to embrace the season of preparation, recognizing that the work we do now lays the foundation for the future we wish to create.

ANTENNAE is about connecting to the cosmos, our place in the world, each other, and ourselves.
It's about being an antenna, channelling and reflecting what inhabits and surrounds us.

ANTENNAE invites you to enter the movie of life.
Here, you are the audience and performer, the dreamer and the dream, antenna and signal.

Described as a creative playground, slow disco, or ecstatic dance party,
you will take part in the spontaneous creation of a live film.

Led by creator Jason Rodi,
ANTENNAE is an ensemble of musicians improvising what we've come to call "spiritual music", a transcendent sound that lifts the spirit, for which we are mere conduits.
The video installation stages Plato's allegory of the cave, immersing you in a world where
WE ARE ALL
ANTENNAE.

ANTENNAE unfolds under each full moon at NOMADlife.tv.

ANTENNAE IS A WORD
ANTENNAE IS A SYMBOL
ANTENNAE IS THE SKY
ANTENNAE IS THE SIGNAL

ANTENNAE WE ARE ALL
ALWAYS FOREVER NOW
REMEMBER THE FUTURE
REMEMBER OUR SONG

ANTENNAE: A Living Narrative

ANTENNAE is not just an event; it's a living narrative, a canvas for the creation of our own mythologies in the ever-unfolding present. Each event is recorded and filmed for posterity, and available for streaming on all NOMADlife.tv apps (ROKU, FireTV, AndroidTV, AppleTV, iOS, Android, and YouTube).
 

Spiritual Music : A Transcendent Experience

Like 12 apostles, the core ANTENNAE ensemble is an open band of 12 musicians + guests.  With piano, cello, electric, acoustic and bass guitars, harmonica, vocals, congas, steal and electric drums, flutes, saxophones, and more, we record about 90 minutes of original music each week, never playing the same thing twice.  We keep our music within the realm of neo-psychedelic, atmospheric, and cinematic aesthetics, which we've come to simply refer to as "spiritual music."  We hence renounce ownership of these spontaneous creations, acting as antennas, connected to the divine, mere conduits for the music flowing through us.


The Installation: A Ballet of Shadows and Light
ANTENNAE stages Plato's allegory of the cave through an installation involving a back projection screen and a large mirror, immersing you in a mesmerizing dance of shadows and light. Participants become integral to this dance, casting their silhouettes against images of antennas shot all over the world by Rodi, a poetic expression of the message WE ARE ALL, and a celebration of the interconnectedness of all things.
