At first listen (and watch) his work is the kind of temporary anecdote that the age of quirk and electro would see fade and become something of a novelty, but 21 year old Nick Bertke, more commonly known as Pogo, has developed such a fun and enjoyable niche for himself that I can’t help but be obsessed and, albeit, a bit jealous I didn’t think of it first. His sampling and re-working of dialogue from films like Alice in Wonderland, Mary Poppins, Hook, and another childhood favorite of mine, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, have all had the uniqueness and general familiarity of content to draw huge interweb crowds. But his skills as a producer have proven he’s a palpable and innovative artist. Using Pixar's popular film Up, Pogo's latest piece proves he can also build an emotionally driven visual story you couldn’t get from the track alone. Expect him to set some new bars in the search for sound. - W&V
