Operating under the Jaw Surgery moniker, Filipino noise artist Chester Masangya constructs a ritualized power-electronics work driven by distortion, breath, and deliberate restraint, where extended techniques, hostile pressure, and ceremonial pacing collide in a stark, uncompromising exploration of spiritual collapse, sonic violence, and meditative endurance at the outer limits of noise.

1. WOMBGLASS IMPLODES IN THE MOUTH OF THE 13TH KEY
The origin fracture. The sacred vessel-wombglass-once a transmitter of divine will, collapses under the pressure of corrupted genesis. The "13th Key" is a forbidden invocation: an anti-logos mutation birthed by fallen priests. Implosion signifies the beginning of a ritual meant to erase creation from within.
The opening soundscape is sterile and trembling. Then a rupture-glassy feedback, granular texture, and subdermal hums. The divine matrix is compromised.
2. THE BLEEDING OF NUMBERLESS NAMES
In the aftermath, the uncountable identities once etched into the ether begin to dissolve. Names-once sacred identifiers-now hemorrhage from the edges of the aether. This is a mass unmaking. A genocide of language and memory.
Shifting static mimics a digital purge; screams numberless data lost to the void. The piece echoes with the agony of erased ancestors.
3. WITHING OF KETHER
Kether-the crown of divine emanation-begins to rot. Once radiant, now diseased. The sacred apex of the Tree of Life withers inward, its purity strangled by inverted prayer. The Godhead decays, and what blossoms from its wound is unnameable.
The track breathes like a dying beast-slow, infected pulses. High-frequency flares infect the sonic space, echoing divine failure.
4. ATRA-HASIS DEVOURS THE SKY TEMPLE
Atra-Hasis, reimagined not as a savior but as a devourer, returns to the celestial architecture that once rejected him. He consumes the Sky Temple, stone by screaming stone. This is divine revenge-dismantling of heaven by the forsaken.
Chaotic layers of crunching reverb and ascending metallic shrieks emulate collapse. A false heaven crumbles, replaced by the howls of ancient flood survivors.
5. XUL SHROUD DRAPED OVER THE COVENANT MAW
The final eclipse. The Xul Shroud-pure entropy-blankets the gaping Covenant Maw, the last gate where divine & profane once met. Now it is sealed, suffocated.
No prayers escape.
No gods remain.
The closing dirge is funereal: deep throbs, molasses-slow distortion, and reverse-smeared vocals. The last breath of theology becomes silence.
Artist Biographies
• Show Bio for Chester Masangya Chester Masangya is a Filipino noise and power-electronics artist whose work operates at the intersection of ritual, pressure, and controlled collapse. Drawing on Japanese minimalism, Southeast Asian rawness, and a deeply personal cosmology shaped by decay, invocation, and spiritual tension, Masangya constructs sound as ceremony, using distortion, breath, and restraint to generate environments that oscillate between meditative austerity and hostile saturation. Working under multiple project names — most notably Jaw Surgery, but also Aetheric Wound, Coalminer, and Fossa Magna — Masangya treats each outlet as a distinct architectural space within a unified practice. Jaw Surgery functions as the central axis of his work, presenting performances structured like rites, marked by sparse physical gesture, rupturing dynamics, and an intentional embrace of spiritual violence. Aetheric Wound extends this approach into collaborative, trance-oriented ritual forms, while Coalminer channels industrial trauma and post-collapse atmospherics into militant, pressure-laden sound. With Fossa Magna, Masangya explores slower, tectonic pacing, rendering chaos cavernous and almost sacred through extreme restraint. Prolific and uncompromising, Masangya operates within the outer reaches of noise and power electronics, a terrain where sonic violence and meditative immersion coexist. His work challenges listeners drawn to extreme music to move beyond genre thresholds, revealing noise not only as confrontation, but as a conduit for focus, endurance, and a stark, inward-facing form of transcendence. ^ Hide Bio for Chester Masangya
