Bio
.. .......... .. ....Myspace Layouts.. $layout_link / ..Hot Comments.. / ..Image Hosting.. .. ........ We are focused on an integration of traditional musical methods and more abstract forms of expression, intending to create a space for the listeners' own personal narrative, stimulating access to private memories and emotions. Through composition, performance and improvisation we explore the interactions between ourselves and the audience. Stylistically we pursue minimal ambient sound work, noise, and more familiar music through the use of stringed instruments, various objects, electronic devices, and location recordings. .... ///Daniel Burke (b.1960) has been making experimental music in the Chicago area since 1983. He also works with photography, graphic design, and video. Initially inspired to manipulate sound by witnessing the final performances of Throbbing Gristle in 1981, he was the founding member of Illusion Of Safety. His work continues to develop through a need to explore the nature of sound and a desire to subvert structure. He works with diverse instrumentation including sampler, computer, synthesizer, field recordings, melodica, processing devices, guitar, and various small objects. Burke has collaborated with artists such as Jon Mueller, Randy Greif, Darrin Gray, ZEV, CHEER-ACCIDENT, Jim O'Rourke, Thomas Dimuzio, Kevin Drumm, Ben Vida, and Jeff Jerman. He has released over 25 full length records as Illusion Of Safety or with various collaborators. Performing over 300 concerts since 1992 in Europe and North America, notable performances included No Fun 2005, and the Wroclaw Industrial music festival 2009. Due for release in 2010 on Chicago's New Ruins Records is Tertium Quid, an improvisation project Burke recorded with Bill Horist and Dave Abramson in Seattle. New projects in Chicago include a guitar duo with Travis Bird, and Twilight Furniture, a dark experimental pop project with Lorna Donley (DA!, Hip Deep Trilogy). .... ///Travis Bird is a Chicago multi-instrumentalist. His restlessness with the guitar has led him into improvised and nonmusical territory, at the same time that he develops a melodic style incorporating complex, extended harmonies, driving fingerstyle playing, and a fondness for incompleteness and repetition. As a solo songwriter and as the drummer in the Leavitt Ours, his focus is on crafting thoughtful, harmonically rich songs that immerse the listener as deeply as possible. .... ....
