A number of Pogo's works consist almost entirely of the sounds he samples, with few or no additional music or sound samples.[ 3]

Personal life
On his September 2011 US tour, Bertke was arrested and taken into custody for three weeks due to the lack of a proper work visa, and is now prohibited from re-entering the United States until 2021.[ 6] [ 7]
