all ages, 2p-6p
$40

Going In is a sub-label of The Bunker New York, dedicated to long-form musical compositions for expanded states, best experienced horizontally. This is music for engaged listening. Going In has presented two 48+ hour online streaming events and released 25 albums since its inception 5 years ago.

The Reforestors Laboratory Sound Clinic has an absurdly high quality 24 point sound system with two giant subwoofers that go down to 30Hz. This cozy room is covered in rugs, has a wall of plants and is incredibly zen. There's truly nothing else like it!

Please bring pads, mats, pillows & blankets to make yourself comfortable. Each guest will have about a yoga mat’s space on the floor, so please be mindful of others. We are limiting this to 30 tickets so everyone can be comfortable. Lay down and be counted! There will be no talking, shoes, or phone use in the Sound Clinic during the performances. You can pop out to the cafe anytime for food, drinks, phone use, and conversations.

For this edition of Going In, we’ve invited three artists to present hour long sets.

Holland Andrews is a composer, vocalist, clarinetist, and improviser whose work focuses on generating expansive tapestries of cathartic and dissonant soundscapes. Frequently highlighting themes surrounding vulnerability, healing, and transformation, Andrews composes music with their voice, clarinet, and electronics to serve as a vessel for these themes. As a musician, their influences stem from a dynamic range of styles, including contemporary opera, free jazz, american experimentalism, as well as ambient, drone, and noise music. Holland made one of the first releases on Going In back in the midst of the 2020 quarantine, and we can’t wait to see what they’re up to now.

Chloe Alexandra Thompson is a Cree interdisciplinary artist, director and composer. Her practice explores listening as a way of knowing and relating which is shaped by Indigenous resonance, spatial perception, and embodied vulnerability. Working with psychoacoustic tones, algorithmic systems, and sculptural spatialization as materials, she composes spaces that shift awareness, inviting deep relational encounters between bodies, technologies, and the land. Aside from her many achievements, Chloe actually built the software architecture for the Reforestor’s Sound Clinic, so she literally knows it inside and out unlike anyone else.

William Selman is a musician and multimedia artist currently based in Portland, Oregon. Aside from his release on Going In, which is one of our favorites, he has recently released music on Surgeon and Dan Bean’s esteemed Old Technology imprint, and NYC’s own Mysteries of the Deep. He also runs the Critique of Everyday Life label with The Bunker’s own Gunnar Haslam. His work employs analogue and digital synthesis techniques, live percussion and instrumentation, and his own rich field recordings to create compositions and sound art focused on the ideas of place, embodiment, and the elevation of the everyday.

Reforesters Laboratory is an experimental adaptogen cafe and sound clinic located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. We utilize music – including spatial, sub-bass-centered, and organic instrumentation – along with breathwork, meditation, art, plant care and adaptogenic, nutritional foods + beverages to cultivate kindness—both physical and spiritual. We aim to create an environment that offers peace, space, and clarity, helping people understand the connections between themselves, their communities, and the world around them.

The Sound Clinic is fully ADA compliant and wheelchair accessible, though the space is presently arranged for floor-level seating on supportive pillows to encourage a grounded, immersive experience. If you prefer or require a standard chair (or back support), just let us know in advance or on arrival and we’ll happily provide one. Your comfort and access needs come first.
