Their name was taken from an obscure song "Winged Tuscadero" by an obscure band Mallard, who morphed from the original Magic Band after being left ashore by the Captain, who had sailed off without them.

The Glass Insects are David Weyer and Deniz Tek, doing free form spontaneous heavily processed harmolodic guitar and electronic noise music. Their first album, "Cool and Unusual Punishment" was recorded in three hours, and mixed and edited over the following year. It was released on CDRs made and labelled by the band, numbered and signed, and sold by mail order. Approximately 40 copies were eventually sold to listeners around the globe.

The Glass Insects recorded a second album, with more than six hours of material on tape. They were joined in this recording by Jim Dickson and Will Weyer. This album is even more adventurous and strange. Utilising the Gibbs Unit (a 1930's electronic device which responds unpredictably to its ambient surroundings), several custom altered amplifiers and tube processors, and human activity in the room from which the machines derive energy and direction, hitherto unknown circuits and biomechanical systems were created that opened channels to new sounds.

Central to the experiment was the Weyer invented "Choratone Machine", with its infinitely variable ascending and cascading sequences of harmonic distortion. The band reached new vistas in sound. Astonishingly, the equipment seems to create a gateway into time, where wailing voices, moanings, lamentations in strange languages, and volumes of voices from huge Nuremberg-like rallies can be heard coming through the opened channels.

Glass Insects 2 might be released to humanity someday if Dave can ever bring himself to edit and mix it. For now, there is a feeling that it might best be left alone. Glass Insects have never played a live concert.
