Basilica Hudson and Le Guess Who? present in collaboration with Sarah Van Buren the return of 24-HOUR DRONE: EXPERIMENTS IN SOUND AND MUSIC.

This year, we wade deeper into the durational and site-specific element of DRONE. The festival will start and end with special three-hour endurance sets by Photay with Celia Hollander and special guests Laraaji + Arji OceAnanda, Raven Chacon, C. Lavender and Fuji||||||||||ta.

The remaining 12 hours of the event include performances by Kelman Duran, Sarah Hennies + Tristan Kasten-Krause, Laura Ortman, Pauline Oliveros’ The Heart Chant led by Lisa Barnard Kelley, Evans Saxl Seretan Thayer Quartet, WSABI, Anneice Cousin and Sister Redhawk (Nea’ Mckinney) + more to come.Please visit basilicahudson.org for full event details.

An immersive event and all-encompassing experience, 24-HOUR DRONE is a roving, international series presented by Basilica Hudson and Le Guess Who? in collaboration with Sarah Van Buren, featuring musicians and sound artists experimenting within the spectrum of drone to create 24 hours of unbroken, uninterrupted sound. An event that embodies Basilica Hudson at its most experimental and experiential, pushing the boundaries of what a communal, conceptual experience can be.

A note about the price increase: 24-HOUR DRONE, like its autumnal counterpart Basilica Soundscape, is at the heart of Basilica’s mission to present cutting-edge art and music in our riverfront factory. But these wildly imaginative programs are also expensive to produce. Much has changed since we last presented these events on such a large scale, and we need to adapt to rising costs, from production, marketing, hospitality, staff needs, and more than ever, the need to pay artists fairly. As a nonprofit, we remain deeply committed to the long-term sustainability of these programs, and to paying working artists.

When you purchase a ticket to 24-HOUR DRONE, you get to experience 15 acts over the course of 24 hours. That’s about $6.50 per performance, compared to the average cost of attending a ~3 hour concert. We hope you'll join us.

All ages
