TUNNELWERK: RIVETHEAD REVOLUTION New York Performances

“TUNNELWERK: RIVETHEAD REVOLUTION” at Baker Falls documents a strain of New York nightlife where rock and pop meet machine logic. Flesh_Bot and NYC-based XSB-R move between live electronics, DJ practice, and looser, classically inflected forms, treating the set as sound design as much as performance. In a city with a long rivethead and industrial lineage, the series reads less like nostalgia than a continuing method for organizing noise, rhythm, and space. One takeaway is how deliberately the structure stays audible even at its most abrasive.
