CHEER-ACCIDENT
Illusion of Safety

Hali Palombo
will be performing a live soundtrack to short clips of Slow Scan Television, a method of radio transmission that produces images when translated through certain software. The images will display transmissions of liminal spaces that Palombo has collected images of throughout her travels of the United States.

CHEER-ACCIDENT
loosely known as a "rock" band throughout four decades, has been more and more frequently pursuing the realm of non-idiomatic improvisation in the past several years. (In other words, these spontaneously made sounds don't fall under the category of "free jazz" or "jam band" or any other easily identifiable genre.)

In terms of personnel, CHEER-ACCIDENT tends to be quite fluid, but here's who will likely be participating in the 11/4/23 performance at Elastic:
Billie Howard- violin, piano, electronics
Johanna Brock- violin, voice
Jeff Libersher- trumpet, guitar
Thymme Jones- drums, piano, trumpet, voice
Andrea Faught- trumpet, recorder
Julie Pomerleau- violin
Alex Perkolup- bass
Eleanor Schumacher- piano, voice, dancing
Mike Hagedorn- low brass, electronics

Illusion of Safety
Since 1983, Daniel Burke and his many conspirators under the Illusion Of Safety banner have over the course of 40+ full length releases traversed most every facet of the avant sound plane, from early industrial pop deconstruction to blindingly minimal sound art to densely surreal found-sound collage, each unique approach bending and reconstituting the expectations and possibilities of each realm, creating uneasy music that is dense and dystopian and yet also beautiful. Performing over 300 live concerts throughout Europe and the states included No Fun 2008, the Wroclaw Industrial Music Festival 2009, Sonic Circuits in 2010, and In collaboration with Shen Wei Dance Arts in 2011 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Outside of IOS Burke has collaborated with Jim O'Rourke, Jon Mueller, Randy Greif, Darin Gray, Z'EV, Cheer-Accident, Thomas Dimuzio, Kevin Drumm, Bill Horist, and others.

Illusion of Safety 40th anniversary performance
The first IOS performance in Chicago since 2015. Presenting a new composition for the CLEAT 16 channel system + an ensemble improvisation.
FLOAT: An appreciation of WATER in all its forms: liquid, vapor, solid. An homage to the magic stuff that makes us and makes our imperiled garden planet. Pure form sounds: water only as source material transformed via sampling, granular synthesis, and processing, eventually becoming less pure with additional sound sources. A program that seeks a sense of transcendence through immersion in the material nature of our being. Flowing directly into an ensemble improvisation.
