I’m very happy to share that my first ambient piece as Inside Us All (Spotify) called “Ascension” will be part of the third edition of On Air On Site – a 48-hour experimental radio festival broadcasting from the Hague on FM and online worldwide from May 23 to 25.

Ascension is part of an album designed for deep meditation, relaxation, and sleep, with each track built around a contemplative phrase. For “Ascension,” the phrase is: “May we always be in awe and wonder.” You are invited to embrace this phrase on your own or together with others, addressing it to whomever you choose. I addresses it to the universe.

By using “us” instead of “I,” this meditation shifts the focus from the individual to the collective, reflecting the idea of shared consciousness. The music offers a space for both personal and communal reflection, guiding listeners on a sonic journey toward inner peace and universal connection.” 

It will air at 0315 on May 25th, Sunday.

There will also be live performances on Saturday, May 24 at the Institute of Sonology and on Sunday, May 25 at the West museum, Den Haag.

Thank you to the curators, Margherita Brillada and Leonie Roessler, and everyone else involved for putting this together every year. And if you tune in—thank you for listening.

About On Air – On Site Festival

On Air – On Site is a sound investigation of a temporary radio event consisting of a broadcast schedule of 48 hours of non-stop streaming, including live performances/ shows, fixed media, and prerecorded work specifically composed for the festival.

By re-thinking radio as a social-public space for artistic involvement, and as an exhibition space for experimental sound art and electronic music, the event is part of a larger initiative to establish an experimental community radio station based in The Hague called BUG radio, which officially started streaming from autumn 2024. The event will explore the boundaries of being simultaneously on air in a physical and virtual space, challenging different radio formats.

The 2025 edition will be held from May 23 at 20.00 until May 25 at 20.00 CEST, online, on the FM, and on site. The live performances will take place on May 24th in the New Music Lab of the Institute of Sonology, Royal Conservatoire, The Hague and on May 25th at West Museum, Den Haag. The project invites the involved artists and the public to consider the physical spaces as a context rather than a location and to rethink together a different relationship between communities and experimental radio practice. The event aims to promote the medium of radio as an art form and encourage experimental approaches to make radio. On Air — On Site brings together diverse artist communities and students from the Institute of Sonology, Composition and Art Science department, Tonka Radio, Cashmere Radio in Berlin, Noise à Noise from Tehran and other independent artists. The event will be streamed on the dedicated website hosting the Web Radio: www.onaironsite.com
