The creative force behind the case

Ezra Cimino-Hurt drives Case of Bass, a Portland venture that transforms vintage suitcases into portable speaker systems. The project initially began in a garage during a slow winter. Using old electronics and a vision to turn forgotten items into art, Ezra’s hands-on approach combines design, audio engineering, and sustainability. As a result, he breathes new life into discarded materials. Each Case of Bass, therefore, blends aesthetics with sound, reflecting Ezra’s craftsmanship and Portland’s spirit. As co-founder and “head dude in charge,” Ezra continuously pushes audio design boundaries with visually striking and impressive pieces.

Ezra’s creation process is both hands-on and experimental. “It’s all scratch-built,” he explains. “I milled this from raw poplar, built a box, encapsulated it, and created a playground to lay out.” Wrapped in reflective vinyl and repeatedly reassembled, each Case evolves organically, thus revealing its character. For Ezra, it’s about more than just sound; it’s about creating something dimensional and interactive. “All in all, it’s super fun,” he adds, capturing the joy in his craft.
