Dan Burke, the mind behind the influent project Illusion Of Safety, has been active since 1983. Distanced from the obscure sounds of a very recent past, which catalogue of sound schizophrenia included ambient, post-industrial, electro-acoustic, electronic, sound collage, improvisation, sampling and power electronics, juxtaposition of the beauty and the disturbing still remains as the way chosen to the sublime. Never remaining for too long within the same genre, not even during the same track, his work still evolves towards a more organic electro acoustic. Occasionally distressing through the destruction of the sound itself or of its sometimes obscure sources, this is a music which displays a strong feeling of balance within its structure and sound colours. Despite less threatening, the virus is still active in the digital circuits of IOS, reconfiguring sounds on the dangerous language of error. Fascinating and unclassifiable, this project hasn’t lost the strength of a surrealistic distillation which as always marked its work, a powerful mixture of originality, innovation and provocation; the essence of experimental music that is.
