ORGAN CHOIR DRONE, by Illusion of Safety

ORGAN CHOIR DRONE

by Illusion of Safety

supported by

Dawid Scumwalski Illusion of Safety's "Organ Choir Drone" is a good release. I found it enjoyable, not too abrasive or anything, classic industrial music for the lack of a better term, or maybe just electronic music is better suited as it lacks the weight carried by the term 'industrial.' Hard to tell, and I don't feel competent enough to be coming up with genre names. It's a slightly distressing, anxious album with plenty of quiet, interesting synth layers. The final track sounds a bit odd to my ears.

Daniel James Burke I really did want to do it, i was kidding, i wanted to do this for a long time. Now that i listen to it some of this was for the Shen Wei dance company performance, uses some of my earliest modular synth recordings Favorite track: A4- WASTE OF CIVILIZATION.

about

For 2023, and for the 40th year of Illusion of Safety's existence, the project's progenitor Daniel Burke invited Arvo Zylo to work with him in putting together a new release. This entailed going through several hours of audio and deciding whether or not it could be useful, either as source material or finished product, but also included certain "treatments" from Zylo, in the process of deciding what was finalized.

Burke says: "I worked diligently with Arvo compiling and mixing the best material available, distilling the modes and methods I've been using for some years: field recordings, electronics, electro-acoustic, and synthesis. Some of the raw materials are my first recordings with the Eurorack modular synthesizer dating back to 2010, and were used in the collaboration with Shen Wei Dance Arts for our performance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art NYC on 6-6-11."

Thumping, pulsing industrial techno with dark & edgy ambience. I love the distorted metal-like vocal elements. If they remade Akira, this release would be a perfect score! PadraigC
