Daniel James Burke presents Twilight Furniture: Ambient songs and experimental motives.

Skirting tonality, atonality, tradition, and innovation: opening space for emotive access. Possibly channeling: David Sylvian, Mark Hollis, Brian Eno, Harold Budd, Eric Satie, Burt Bacharach, and John Cage.

See, Hear, Feel. Songs of the moment.

Daniel Burke: Guitar, Keys, synth, field recordings, & devices

Equally influenced by atonal modern classical, the ambient music of Brian Eno, the nuanced and free improvisation approach of AMM, the chamber pop of Burt Bacharach, and the industrial machinations of Throbbing Gristle, as well as jazz, rock, prog, & punk, Dan has been playing with sound since the early 80’s as Illusion of Safety releasing over 40 full length recordings and performing over 300 concerts worldwide. He has also collaborated in composition, live performance, or recorded with Jim O’Rourke, Darin Gray, Kevin Drumm, Jeb Bishop, Jon Mueller, & Olivia Block, et. al. He has also collaborated in ensemble groups CHEER-ACCIDENT, Tertium Quid (w/Bill Horist & Dave Abramson), and Total Sound (w/Chris Block).

The name Twilight Furniture was originally used for the rock project I was doing with my dear friend Lorna Donley (R.I.P) during the late 2000’s. We had some good times working toward a body of work that unfortunately was never well documented or brought out to the public arena. The project name was her idea, from a song title by the group This Heat. I think enough time has passed and feel justified to use it for this rather appropriate context. Some original working tracks can be heard here.
