For those who like their electronic works to have a bit of a razor’s edge to them, Case Trick present dark, introspective sounds, and by pairing them with this visual component, one can begin to get a grander picture as to whence the pair’s work comes. -Nick Spacek, The Pitch

Получается очень круто, довольно необычно и наверняка придется по вкусу ценителям интеллигентной электронной музыки. Case Trick continues the frequency exploration of the musique concrète from the 1950’s, particularly Karlheinz Stockhausen's Gesang der Jünglinge, and the work of Philip Glass, Kristina Kubsich, Carla Scaletti, and Brian Eno.
Both currently enjoy the solitary life of a journeyman.
