On And Off by Mary Halvorson & Jessica Pavone , released on Skirl Records in 2007.

Troy Collins wrote for All About Jazz:

Both former students of composer Anthony Braxton, Halvorson and Pavone continue to perform in his ensembles, those of cornetist and fellow Braxton alumni Taylor Ho Bynum and in their own numerous Brooklyn-based projects. Left to their own devices, Halvorson and Pavone split writing duties, demonstrating a predilection for areas rarely explored in contemporary improvised music.

Blending disarmingly simple folk melodies with aggressively dissonant free-form interjections, the duo stretches genre conventions with irreverent wit—from poignant Fahey-esque motifs to angular Bartokian dissonances. Bittersweet themes are sporadically amplified when the spare melancholy of acoustic chamber music is invigorated by the electric intensity of indie rock.
