Mark Trecka is, among other things, lead singer and songwriter for the Chicago based, spiritually avant trio, Pillars and Tongues, with fellow members Evan Hydzik and Elizabeth Remis. Mark is a performer of music both composed and improvised, and is a rider of the line in between those two. Mark also believes that the concept of a “line in between” things is a dubious one. This belief has lead to an interest in borders, mestizo culture(s), devotional / popular Catholicism, the desert, Bhairava and Cynocephaly.
