NOISEXTRA - The noise podcast.

Illusion of Safety is one of the longest running projects in the industrial noise underground, and Dan Burke was cool enough to sit down with us and go over his entire history. From seeing the final Throbbing Gristle show in San Francisco, to creating the IOS world with all its collaborators, Dan has stories and insight for days. It’s another mandatory history lesson on Noisextra. For the ExtraNOISEXTRA segment on the patreon, Dan talks about taking music lessons and how it’s inspired his current approach to IOS and all his sound work. This segment is in the middle of the episode on the patreon feed.

It was a honor to speak with Kristian Olsson to have a very deep discussion on not only his history, but his thoughts and philosophy on the underground.

In next week’s episode, we get into Alfarmania and so much more. These episodes are highly important history lessons and ones that are not to be missed.

Mike and Tara desperately needed to re-organize their studio, so why not make an episode out of it?
