Liz Snyder and Patrick Troll have shared a love of music since high school, and today they make up the electronic music duo Whiskey Class. "Our styles are a little different but when blended together it makes magic," says Troll.
While the music for the song "Thurt" was recorded two years ago, Troll edited and layered the tracks over many months. It also took that long for artist Ian Stewart to create the animation for the debut music video. The psychedelic piece features a dream-like progression of scenes within scenes. Outer space, hamburgers, salmon and the ocean all play a part.
Troll, the son of well-known Alaska artist Ray Troll, was born and raised in Ketchikan but now resides in Seattle.
"I love to make beats, sampling jazz or cutting up samples from friends. I also love to throw a good dance party. Done DJ gigs in California, Seattle and all over Alaska," Troll said.
