Daniel James Burke presents Twilight Furniture: Experiential music with Ambient motives. Playing with meditative states, entrancement, soothing introspection & repetition through electronic synthesis, kosmische, acoustic chamber, drone, minimalist compositions, ambient, experimental, post-classical & improvisation. Skirting genre, playing with form, tradition, and innovation: opening space for experiential access, & surrendering to flow with a few emotive detours. The inception of this project was the result of an interest to create more beautiful comforting music as well as involvement in and contributions to the Disquiet Junto project founded by Marc Weidenbaum. Many of these pieces are versions of those Disquiet submissions. Many thanks for this https://disquiet.com/

Daniel James Burke is an improviser, composer & performer from Chicago using strings, piano, extended techniques, field recordings, synthesizer, & electronics. He has been making music since 1983 as Illusion of Safety & has recorded and performed with Olivia Block, Thomas Dimuzio, Kevin Drumm, Darin Gray, Jon Mueller, Jim O’Rourke, CHEER-ACCIDENT, and has collaborated with Shen Wei Dance Arts. Recently he has started performing original music in singer-songwriter mode, in ambient mode as Twilight Furniture, and as Interim Assassin in an improv trio with Chicago musicians Erik Sowa & Jeb Bishop. Seeing musical tools & traditions as borders to cross and boundaries to play with, his interest in making challenging, exploratory music is now augmented by a desire to create music as spacious, beautiful and enigmatic as possible. Through interaction, environment, intention, & spontaneity, his intention is to connect space, performers & audience, believing sound can be a catalyst in reaching states beyond normal consciousness.

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, the music was Rock. I think enough time has passed and feel justified to use it for this rather appropriate ambient project. The formation of the which and many of these tracks used were birthed in my submissions to the Disquiet Junto community, many thanks to Marc Weidenbaum and the good citizens there.
