Described by Animal Collective’s Josh Dibb as “quite possibly the greatest guitar player on the face of the earth,” Mick Barr has been creating brutal, technical, avant-garde music for the past fifteen years. With the groups Crom Tech, Orthrelm, Quixotic, and Krallice, Barr has explored minimalism, prog, speed metal, chamber music and even pop, always pushing the limits of virtuosity. As a solo artist, Barr creates compositions of repetitive and non-repetitive modular structures with speed, intensity, and a profound inner logic, a vision described by the New York Times as “the solitary-artist extension of death metal; it also could be the rock extension of Coltrane’s Interstellar Space.”
