Since 1983, Illusion Of Safety have traversed most every facet of the avant sound plane, from industrial pop deconstructions to blindingly minimal sound art to surrealist fogs of found-sound collage and beyond; an aesthetic constellation that stands apart in its own darkly beautiful corner of the sky.
"Float" is a distinctly solo endeavor on Dan Burke's part, taking as its starting point an appreciation of water in all its forms: liquid, vapour, and solid. A loving homage to the magic stuff that gives life to our imperiled garden planet and ourselves, the pure sound of water runs throughout the album, transformed via sampling, granular synthesis, pianos, and electronics.
Composed over the course of six months during 2023, "Float" was initially conceived for presentation on the famed CLEAT 16 multichannel system at Elastic Arts Chicago, with an accompanying video for the performance. This version of "Float" is a stereo mixdown, but the music has lost none of its sonic heft or vitality in the process. Give into it and float.
Mastered by Andrew Weathers. Ltd x 150 copies in a gatefold digisleeve with liner notes by Marc Weidenbaum.
