SAVE THE DATE

MAY THE DRONE GO ON

For the past 7 years, 24-HOUR DRONE presented with Le Guess Who? has kicked Basilica Hudson’s season into bloom, as a sacred wake-up call for the building in her winter hibernation. With all large gatherings still postponed due to COVID-19,  this year we will bring it to the airwaves in collaboration with Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM Radio for Open Ears. 

An all-encompassing, immersive event, 24-HOUR DRONE, a Basilica signature event which captures the ethos of the organization’s commitment innovate arts and culture, features musicians and sound artists experimenting with sustained tones, creating a full twenty-four hours of unbroken sound, and invites attendees to escape the tight hands of time in a long-form, endurance homage to sound. 2021 marks the seventh iteration of 24-HOUR DRONE, and also celebrates Basilica’s (2020) and WGXC’s (2021) ten-year anniversary seasons.

In 2021, in recognition of 10 years of Basilica Hudson and WGXC 90.7-FM, and in honor of our experimental sound community, we are committed to bring the DRONE. Both organizations, Basilica and Wave Farm, will each invite five sound artists to contribute a 60-minute performance. Assembled, this newly commissioned 10-hour drone program will be the featured content for DRONE AT HOME 2021. Highlights from past 24-HOUR DRONE event archives will flesh out the rest of the 24-hour program. 

May the sound be our solace during our communal isolation.
