Obfusc is the name given to the musical output of Joseph X. Burke (born 1981), an American, Chicago-based graphic designer and photographer. 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, but has also released music through Static Caravan Recordings, Expanding Electronic Diversity, INSTALL Sound, and several other DIY labels. His music has been licensed for placement in the Netflix series "House of Cards", CBS Television's "CSI: Miami", the media campaign for Ustwo Games' "Monument Valley", and various web series, short films, and promotional videos.
