Artist History karmacoda: It was a simple objective, really. karmacoda began as a collective effort between three musicians in search of something new. That something started while B. and Heather were chatting over drinks in a San Francisco tiki bar, and realized their mutual trip hop/drum 'n bass obsession. B. didn't have to sway Heather, restless and on the lookout for a fresh sonic venture into checking out the electronic music project he and longtime friend/collaborator Fully had been working on. A few weeks later the trio met at B's home studio, resulting in the hauntingly beautiful track "Frail" and what would become many days spent writing and recording the album, "reco mended". Official band roles were mutable, defining themselves per track, with everyone writing parts for each other as well as themselves. For karmacoda, creating "reco mended" was like crafting a cool art project. It is much more about reflecting a certain time and space in life than being concerned with commerce. Expressing very human issues through very processed sound is what karmacoda does best. The perfect aural escape from our ultra-commercialized planet.
