Very pleased to share video of Evicshen live at Boston City Hall. This was Victoria's first performance in Boston since she moved away in March 2020... it was so great to have her back and her set was an absolute scorcher.

Psyched to share more documentation from this year’s Waterworks festival. This is Boston's own SUTUR (Jessica Hernandez and Aaron Michael Smith) who went deep on night one.

Thanks to Matthew Azevedo for the recording & mix and to Jack Amadon and Veronica Wood for the video

SUTUR is the duo of Jessica Hernandez (ehrdz) and Aaron Michael Smith (UN/NO), which they describe as a chimeric conjunction of repetitions and reflections. Jessica Hernandez is a dj, curator, and events organizer from Dorchester. Aaron Michael Smith is a composer, violist and artist currently based in Boston, MA. Aaron is interested in exploring the way that various practices and mediums overlap, reflect and contradict one another. Together Jessica and Aaron organize the Transporter series at Boston Cyberarts.

Very pleased to share documentation of A Campbell Payne's scintillating set at this year's Waterworks festival.

Thanks to Matthew Azevedo for the recording & mix and to Jack Amadon and Veronica Wood for the video!

A. Campbell Payne is a Massachusetts-based musician with a practice rooted in pattern, chance, time, and perception. Payne's approach to composition utilizes generative structures, extended polymeter, and idiosyncratic tuning systems built around just intonation. Drawing influence from dance, astronomy, and the history of mathematics, Payne creates sonic environments that are at once approachable and disorienting.

Thanks to the Waterworks Museum, the Newton Cultural Council, Mass Cultural Council, WZBC, Streetcar, the Oedipus Foundation, and Café Fixe for their support.
