karina ESP

formed in 1998, karina ESP create warm|dark drones and experimental ambient, occasionally seeping into blissed-out 'space rock'. since beginning, only minimal equipment has been afforded, with sounds being created from various effects pedals and guitar, a few other instruments and environmental samples. all recordings are mastered onto multi-track analogue tape. early long-players were heavily influenced by the idyllic pastoral setting in which they were recorded, but more recent output has been of a darker and more intense sensibility.
