About The Artists
Ahura is the jazz-based project of bassist Jeff Wheaton, who also produces alternative/indie bedroom pop asjFfjF. Their recent singles include "Fa'Dala" and "7 Seconds of Bedroom Pop", available on streaming platforms including Tidal, Apple Music, and Soundcloud.
Falling loosely in the cracks between post-rock jazz improvisation and ambient electronic minimalism, Interim Assassin presents communication in pursuit of a good moment. An open exploration of sound playing with the possibilities of sustain, silence, space, texture, environment, and pattern. Embracing the beauty of harmony and dissonance whenever possible.
Daniel Burke has been equally influenced by atonal modern classical, the ambient music of Brian Eno, the nuanced and free improvisation approach of AMM, and the industrial machinations of Throbbing Gristle. Dan has been playing with sound since the early 80’s as Illusion of Safety. He has collaborated with Jim O’Rourke, Darin Gray, Jon Mueller, & Olivia Block, and with ensemble groups CHEER-ACCIDENT, & Tertium Quid (Bill Horist & Dave Abramson). https://linktr.ee/danieljamesburke
Jeb Bishop has been heavily involved in Chicago's experimental music scene since the '90s, from jazz to free improv to the avant-garde hybrid genre post-rock. He has been a member or recorded with a wide variety of collaborators, including The Flying Luttenbachers, Stereolab, Vandermark Five, Jim O'Rourke, Gastr del Sol, The Sea and Cake, and The Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet.
Erik Sowa is a Chicago based drummer/multi-instrumentalist whose musical directions are informed by free improvisation, jazz, ambient/noise, post rock, and afro-beat traditions. In recent years, Erik has collaborated with a wide range of performers of varied musical genres including Peter Maunu, Norman Long, Ben Schmidt-Swartz, Mai Sugimoto, Thomas Comerford, and Snek Trio. In 2022, Erik released a self-titled solo album of instrumental compositions titled "Cedar Lake Recordings Vol. 1" which was reviewed in Dusted Magazine.
