Acoustic guitar intermeshes with electric guitar as Canadian guitarist Pascal Landry and New York guitarist Mick Barr, both of whom play in heavy rock and free improvisation settings, meet in Queens, NY to record this intense album of free playing using a diverse set of approaches, intertwining their strings in an insectile swarm of notes and timbres.

"Insect-Ions is a duet formed by guitar-improvisers Mick Barr (NY) and Pascal Landry (QC). This formation is a rare encounter between two instrumentalists who regularly express themselves as much through extreme metal (Krallice, Encenathrakh, Acédia) as free improvisation. Insect-Ions is also the mix of electric and classical versions of the guitar. The result of a first meeting that took place directly in studio recording (Out.Over.Forever) in the summer of 2017, the enthusiasm of the musicians was such that the experience was to continue. Despite the refined instrumentation, the music of Insect-Ions is dense and precise music. The respective games of the guitarists intertwine and support each other, creating a swarm of notes and timbres."-Insect-Ions
