about

Mark Cetilia’s performances use improvisational, generative feedback loops — between himself, his machines, a space, and a group of listeners — that exist within a specific time and place. To create a permanent counterpart of his ephemeral process, Cetilia looked to Machines with Magnets in Pawtucket, RI, a space that has long provided him inspiration and community. He replaced the audience with an empty, many-roomed building, its windows and walls miked throughout to offer a system of reverberation that flowed to and from him. He filled the emptiness with sound, fed it back into itself, and molded it into churning, throbbing slabs of rhythm and texture.

Cetilia’s background as a DJ came into play when paring down over seven hours of recordings, only selecting tracks he could see himself using in a set. This resulted in a record that pulses and pumps with visceral life below its harsh surface. One can imagine industrial hedonism soundtracked by the alien techno of “Acidevac” and “Cismys,” or a straightforward drum tool layered with “Metosia” or “Benzaplex” to take it to another world.

As with the music, the track titles are based on a generative process, one that uses a simple PHP script to scramble syllables from a database of prescription drug titles. Each title is oddly familiar, funny, and utterly plausible — a mixture of chaos and intention. The record is at every level a collaboration between the human and the inhuman, the mind and the machine, an attempt to extend the mind beyond itself, a path to “The New Way.”
