Obfusc is the name given to the musical output of Joseph X. Burke (born 1981), an American, Chicago-based graphic designer and photographer.[1][2] Originally formed in Brooklyn in 2005 as an electronic music project, Obfusc has since evolved to include a greater array of live instrumentation and post-rock influence. Burke is most notably associated with London-based Boltfish Recordings,[3] but has also released music through Static Caravan Recordings, Expanding Electronic Diversity, INSTALL Sound, and several other DIY labels.[4] His music has been licensed for placement in the Netflix series "House of Cards",[5] CBS Television's "CSI: Miami",[6] the media campaign for Ustwo Games' "Monument Valley",[7][8][9] and various web series, short films, and promotional videos.
