ANTENNAE
IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
NEXT ANTENNAE :
Harvest Moon ANTENNAE
Tuesday September 17th 8pm
The Harvest Moon ANTENNAE embodies the spirit of fruition and reflection.
As the Harvest Moon shines its brightest, symbolizing the time of reaping what has been sown,
this ANTENNAE invites participants to gather the fruits of their creative journeys and reflect on their personal growth.
The Harvest Moon ANTENNAE is a celebration of fulfillment and the shared experience of coming together to honour the work, the growth, and the harvest of the year.

ANTENNAE is about connecting to oneself, to each other, and to the cosmos.
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 12 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 is available for events, creative retreats, or live shows,
and also 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.
