About this episode
BUG Radio × SoundUP – Reveil Relay / Den Haag 2–3 May 2026 For 24 hours, Reveil circles the earth. Beginning near the Greenwich Meridian on the morning of Saturday 2nd May, the broadcast follows the sunrise westward — picking up live audio streams one by one as dawn breaks across each time zone. No music, no commentary: just the layered sound of the world waking up. BUG Radio joins the relay in the early hours of Sunday 3rd May, contributing a live stream from The Hague — the latest chapter in a series of location-based audio broadcasts first developed by SoundUP in the Binckhorst area. For this edition, the microphone moves outward from the Binckhorst, opening onto the wider soundscape of the city. The exact location of our stream remains secret until broadcast. Reveil (2014—) is coordinated by Soundcamp, London, and the Acoustic Commons network. For Reveil 2026, BUG Radio contributes a live stereo stream that places two simultaneous broadcasts in dialogue: a live field recording from The Hague in the left channel, and the full Reveil broadcast in the right — the dawn chorus traveling westward around the globe, from its starting point near Greenwich, converging at last with The Hague as one of the final stops before the cycle completes. The result is a spatial listening experience that situates The Hague within the wider world of Reveil.
