Shooting off pyrotechnics at a concert may be nothing new, but a music event where the instruments belch fire is certainly unique.

Fire the Band performed both Friday and Saturday night at Brooklyn’s Chocolate Factory, a warehouse space on Scott Avenue in East Williamsburg as part of their Mechasonic Sessions.

Dozens of artists came together for these sonic experimental collaborations, producing a storm of sound, pulsating light, and yes, fire.

“It’s basically to give musicians and artists a way to do things that they couldn’t do in any other environment,” explained Stefan Zeniuk, Fire The Band’s musical director. “It’s for artist and musicians, by artists and musicians to do things they couldn’t do in other shows or environments.”

The event, the fourth of its kind, was organized for “exploring how much further musical experiences can [go] for the audience,” Zenuik added, “but also for the performers and for people that are maybe not professional musicians, but are incredible thinkers and dreamers. And so we have endless ideas and text threads that just spiral into wild concepts.

“We keep trying to explore new ways that they can happen, you know? Lots of new noises. We like to come up with lots of new noises.”

The last event was staged two years ago, and attracted 600 people — and the FDNY.

Boasted Zeniuk: “Zero injuries to date.”
