Frequency Calibration – Drone Playing for Times of War and Peace

As an opening action for the “El: HaSadeh” events, we will hold a frequency-calibration session—a shared gathering in which we sustain a single note, vocally or on an instrument, for one hour.

This action was born out of a reality in which, even when a ceasefire is declared, the war does not necessarily end: violence continues, life does not return to its usual course, and the future remains shrouded in uncertainty. It joins the initiatives and gestures of Israeli musicians born during the war, inspired by the actions of Gazan social activist Ahmad Mu'in Abu Amsha, who encouraged his students to sing and play together with the sound of drones—as an act of resistance and an attempt to preserve learning, culture, and human dignity in the face of the ongoing destruction in Gaza.

In drone practice, the long, sustained sound may seem purposeless. Yet it is precisely in its stillness that its power lies: a frequency that remains, resonates, builds a shared space, and leaves a vibration even after it ends.

We would be happy for you to join us. You are invited to bring a musical instrument or simply your voice.

Admission: Free, as part of the “El: HaSadeh” events
