July 2000
In 1999, after a years hiatus from recording and performing, Burke returned to composition by completing a track for the Klanggalerie CD 'Thirteen' entitled 'Ehnanced X-S Artifact.' This was his first composition utilizing a computer as the primary compositional medium. As source material for this track, Burke utilized a live recordings from a performance in Vienna during a 1997 tour of Europe with Mark Klein. This track represents a new form for IOS; capitalizing on mistakes, errors and recording anomalies. This track was the featured recording on Immaterial Incorporated - web sound art projects website for July 2000. Burke returned to the Bay Area at the end of the month for performances at 7hz and KFJC with Tom Dimuzio. Burke also performed for the first time in Seattle on July 26th. Burke was nearly decapitated by an unsuspecting patron at the bar who was not adequately prepared for the aural holocaust.

June 2000
Burke returned to performing as IOS in a solo context in April 2000, with performances at the Nervous Center in Chicago, opening for Big City Orchestra at their first-ever Chicago performance. In June 2000, Burke was invited to tour with Noisegate and Zipper Spy on the West and East coasts.
