Ende Tymes 16

Ende Tymes 16 is a festival of harsh noise, drone, and power electronics in Red Hook. Founded in 2011 by sound artist Bob Bellerue, it operates without sponsors or contracts across multiple Brooklyn venues.

Founded in 2011 in the immediate aftermath of Fukushima, Ende Tymes has always worn its sense of emergency on its sleeve. Curator and producer Bob Bellerue (a sound artist whose own practice runs through resonant feedback systems, Supercollider programming, and junk metal percussion) built the festival as a sponsor-free, contract-free gathering for harsh noise, drone, power electronics, and the space where all three dissolve into something harder to name. For its first eight years it lived at the Silent Barn in Bushwick; it has since spread across TV Eye in Ridgewood and Pioneer Works in Red Hook. Edition 16 runs across all three nights in April 2026, with the Pioneer Works closing night anchored by Raven Chacon and Iggor Cavalera alongside Pedestrian Deposit, Jeph Jerman, Las Sucias, and Shot Dog. The festival keeps returning to a single question: what does music sound like when it treats apocalypse as a literal condition rather than a metaphor?
