Capitol K

A true resident of the globe, blessed in Malta and raised in a variety of disparate locales such as for example Arabia, Brunei, and Britain, Capitol K (aka Kristian Craig Robinson) stations his respect for and knowledge with different music traditions in to the creation of a distinctive cross types of lo-fi rock and roll, electronica, and pop. With from Chinese language pop towards the marching music group music from the United Arab Emirates in his early musical vocabulary, the impact of punk, brand-new influx, grunge, and Japanese noise-core would collide to generate an interestingly brand-new product. Ultimately settling in London due to the creative weather and opportunities open to him for discovering his musical muse, Robinson was quickly making four-track audio collages and moving tapes of his music around city, among which fell in to the hands of Mike Paradinas of World Mu. His studio room experimentations gave delivery to his debut, Seems from the Empire, a mainly digital album constructed upon a heady stability of examples and live resources that received mainly favorable evaluations and positioned Capitol K in the forefront from the U.K.’s digital picture. The follow-up, 2002’s Isle Row, got its inspiration through the musical conceptualization of individuals and locations from Robinson’s past, as he sampled noises from his years as a child for another coating in his complicated arrangements. Joined up with by Leafcutter John, Robinson in addition has gained a status to be a fascinating live performer, re-creating the sprawl of his albums with a variety of live and sampled resources.
