Comment: Cagey House is Dave Keifer, a musician from Baltimore, USA whose most albums are made up of the collected sounds/samples only. He has issued a lot of releases neither of them happened to be mediocre or obtuse. In any cases, there are presented 6 short-running glimpses which do sound like soundtracks for possible velvety art house movies or a performance of the puppet theatre. More concretely, these compositions are a little bit haunting, a little bit buffoonish, a little bit beeping, a bit everything. In a word, the result is highly intriguing and precious to be listened again and again.
