Cenotype

ce.no.type (see. noh. typ): The original type from which all forms have arisen.

Existing somewhere in that undefined region of sound known as Industrial music, Cenotype is the personal expression of a single individual known as Lenny B. Also known as DJ Wintermute, Lenny is a long-standing member of the NYC/ New Jersey-area industrial scene. Raised in the poisonous sprawl of depressed cities such as Bayonne and Jersey City, Lenny cut his teeth as a dancefloor DJ at several venues around the region, and was inspired by acts, such as SPK, KLINIK, SKINNY PUPPY, DIVE, SYNAPSCAPE and PSYCHIC TV, to create his own project.

Influenced by the first and second ‘Power Noise’ waves of the mid-late 1990s, Cenotype now seeks to rise above the growing mass of imitators spawned by that movement to create an identity all its own, incorporating elements of Techno, Breaks, EBM, Death Industrial and Power Electronics while staying true to his origins. This project centers around themes of morality, justice, sanity, depression and, at times, even redemption.
