Winter Robins - A Reason

Mark Williams is an Appalachia born electronic music and experimental video producer currently based in Ironton, Ohio. Williams has released dozens of albums and videos under the name Bary Center name since 2013 on various American and international record labels. He has toured the American DIY underground extensively as both a solo artist and a member of many experimental bands since 2003. His Bary Center project is focused on experimental techno, ambient, and post-industrial sounds. While much of his work purposefully encourages audience interpretation, some recurring themes include the relationships between humanity and nature, humanity and technology, technology and nature, and humanity with itself.

Williams's style as a videographer is often challenging. Elements of psychedelia, horror, and experimental films are almost always present in his work. Many of his music videos for the Bary Center project have premiered on noted international music publications. Williams has also created more mainstream music videos for Appalachian artists Kerry Erin Coats, Walter DeBarr, and Faye Berry. in 2019, Williams founded the house music duo Winter Robins with vocalist Erica Berry and produces music videos for the project as well.

As a documentarian, Williams combines journalistic elements with experimental techniques to illuminate stories that defy common regional stereotypes and promote positive change within Appalachia.
