ANTENNAE
IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
NEXT ANTENNAE :
Cold Moon ANTENNAE
Saturday December 14th 9pm
The Cold Moon ANTENNAE captures the essence of stillness and endurance. As the Cold Moon rises, marking the arrival of winter and the longest nights of the year, this ANTENNAE gathering offers a space for deep reflection, inner fortitude, and creative exploration. The Cold Moon symbolizes a time to embrace the quiet, to find warmth within, and to honor the cycles of rest and renewal that sustain us.
This ANTENNAE invites participants to gather in community, celebrating the resilience of the human spirit through music, movement, and the evocative interplay of shadows and light. The Cold Moon ANTENNAE is a call to pause and connect with the beauty of stillness, to draw inspiration from the season’s introspective energy, and to channel it into collective creation. Through the fusion of soundscapes, visual art, and immersive performance, the Cold Moon ANTENNAE becomes a celebration of the season’s quiet power, reminding us that even in the depths of winter, there is light, creativity, and connection to be found.

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.
ANTENNAE is a dynamic fusion of creativity and spontaneity, a space where a live film unfolds before your eyes. Often described as a creative playground, slow disco, or immersive art experience, it invites you to become both participant and co-creator in this captivating act of live creation.
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: 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.
