Complacency is the home label for Illusion of Safety and related projects. As Illusion of Safety, musician Dan Burke often works at the extremes, shifting from dense, earsplitting noise to brooding, atmospheric soundscapes. In recent years Burke has settled on a more specific style of sound, which involves guitar, electronics, laptop and hand held objects attached with contact mics. Pre-recorded sound material, field recordings as well as electronic sounds are mixed with electro-acoustic objects in an extraordinary manner. This is the meeting point of many influences: improvised music, musique concrete, industrial music, microsound, all in a highly intense set of music. Music that has a soundtrack like character. Illusion of Safety audio disturbance since 1983.
