ANTENNAE
IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
NEXT ANTENNAE :
Hunter's Moon ANTENNAE
Wednesday October 16th 9pm
The Hunter’s Moon ANTENNAE captures the essence of preparation and transition. As the Hunter’s Moon pierces the autumn sky, symbolizing a time to prepare for the coming winter, this ANTENNAE encourages participants to harness their inner resilience and resourcefulness. The Hunter’s Moon ANTENNAE is an invocation of strength and collective energy, providing a space for attendees to fortify their spirits through expressive art and music. It celebrates the cycle of survival and rejuvenation, inviting everyone to engage deeply with their most primal instincts, and to share in the profound connection of human and natural rhythms. This gathering under the Hunter’s Moon offers a powerful reminder of our ties to the natural world and the cyclical nature of life and survival.

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.
The films below, created at ANTENNAE events, are echoes of the eternal present.
The music was recorded live and silhouettes filmed inside
the ANTENNAE at NOMADlife.tv.
