The powerhouse trio of Jesse Kenas Collins, Michael Rosenstein, and Yoona Kim performed on Night Two of the Waterworks 2026 festival. This scorcher of a set marked the debut of Yoona's new electronic ajaeng, which she developed in collaboration with Jesse and Michael.

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.

Very pleased to start sharing documentation from this year's Waterworks festival, starting with a massive set by Bob Bellerue that closed out night one.

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

Bob Bellerue is a sound artist, experimental musician, sound/video curator, and A/V technician based in Ridgewood NY.

Bob’s sound work is based in improvised free noise within multidimensional feedback systems, using amplified instruments, objects, decontextualized field recordings, and resonant spaces, processed by electronics and software written in the Supercollider audio synthesis programming language.
