The BWAC Sessions by Prolificators

The BWAC Sessions captures two luminous nights—May 11 and June 8, 2025—when Prolificators performed live at the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition (BWAC), 481 Van Brunt St, Door 7A, Brooklyn, NY 11231. Recorded within the weathered brick and wooden beams of that historic 25,000-square-foot waterfront warehouse, these performances now serve as both a document and a farewell—to a band, to a building, and to a singular moment in time.

In a bittersweet twist, these sessions would become the band’s final recordings. Two additional concerts were planned for August and September, but after the June 8 show, Prolificators unexpectedly disbanded. Just months later, BWAC itself was lost to a devastating fire—an echo of impermanence that now haunts the album’s resonance.

Musically, Prolificators have been known primarily for their instrumental sound. The BWAC Sessions marks a cataclysmic turning point. Olav—Prolificators’ co-founder and native of Denmark—took the microphone to sing. His voice, unguarded and eerie, introduces a new vulnerability to the band’s evolving sound.

On “Her (Here),” his words unfold like a meditation on presence and memory—“Here, where time stands still, I can see you.” The song invites listeners into that liminal space where love, loss, and longing coexist.

The closing track, “Godt Gået (Well Done),” sung in Danish, feels like a quiet reckoning. With lines such as “I see with my heart, raising my heavy shield,” it blurs the line between surrender and resilience, between irony and faith. The refrain—“Well done, well done”—lands like both blessing and elegy, a nod to all the ways we keep trying to love, create, and mean well, even as things fall apart.

Ultimately, The BWAC Sessions is more than a live album—it is a reflection on impermanence, on the cycles of creation and destruction that mark every seeker's journey. What was once a fleeting sound in a room that no longer exists now endures as an artifact of spirit, community, and the brief miracle of being here.
