Going In at Pioneer Works

Going In at Pioneer Works is a 12-hour immersive listening program exploring long-form compositions for deeply expanded states and attentive listening. The program brings together artists working with slow, non-directive sound and durational forms that support sustained presence, collective atmosphere, and immersive listening.
Going In is a sub-label of The Bunker New York and a project of Beyond Booking focused on long-form compositions and listening-centered environments. Rather than a traditional concert format, the event unfolds as a continuous environment, allowing audiences to move freely through the space and engage at their own pace over the course of the day.
Seating will include chairs as well as open floor space, with a limited number of early entry tickets available for those who wish to arrive ahead of general admission to settle into floor areas and get VIP balcony access. While space will be available to sit or lie down, floor access is not guaranteed and will be determined by arrival time and capacity.
The 2026 program features live sets from Abby Echiverri, Ami Dang, Chloe Alexandra Thompson, Christina Wheeler, Gamelatron, Imaginary Softwoods, Infinity Machine, Keith Fullerton Whitman, Kelly Moran, Kroba, Omar Ahmad x DJ Haram, and The Transcendence Orchestra (Anthony Child, Dan Bean, C. Lavender), with interludes throughout the day curated by Matt Xavier.
The event will also include a collaborative altar installation by Samantha de Maryela, honoring Red Hook artists affected by the 2025 fire at 481 Van Brunt St. The installation creates space for reflection, gathering, and healing within the broader community.
This event is designed to support a shared environment of attentive listening and presence. We ask that phone use be kept to a minimum and that conversation be reserved for outdoor areas, helping maintain a quiet, immersive space inside the hall. Guests are welcome to step into the yard at any time for conversation or connection.
The full program will also be broadcast live and free to the public via The Lot Radio, with live visual manipulations by ACE accompanying the stream.
This event is guided by Beyond Booking’s values and code of conduct. We encourage all attendees to review them in advance:
