Career
Suhrke was educated as a sound engineer and taught himself music composition. He primarily works on video games in music and sound design. His compositions for games first began as a hobby in his early teens, for RPG Maker indie games and other projects he found on online forums. In 2006, he began PAUSE, a collaboration with Disasterpeace, that became a netlabel.
Suhrke composed the music and sound on Spelunky (2012). The mid-tempo jazz album was inspired by early 1990s video games and was composed over two years using a 1986 synthesizer, audio software from the early 1990s, and live instrumentation. He also worked on Vlambeer's Ridiculous Fishing and Super Crate Box, and composed a track for Hotline Miami. His soundtrack for Downwell (2015) was later released on vinyl. Earnest Cavalli of Engadget described his work as among "the finest indie gaming soundtracks in recent memory" in 2013. Suhrke is a collaborator on UFO 50, an anthology of retro-style games.
