Karina Kazaryan is a sound artist, musician and producer. She was born to an Armenian family in Georgia in 1988 and spent her childhood in Omsk in Siberia, where Karina graduated from the Omsk State University of Railway Engineering with a degree in electronics and radio engineering. Karina moved to Moscow in 2010 and started to write and produce electronic music under the alias KP Transmission. At the moment Karina works and lives in Yerevan, Armenia.

Karina's approach to experimental electronic music is initially influenced by various noise rock, industrial, punk and post-punk music acts. Her hazy and grainy compositions sound murky and cinematic and often contain a vague feeling of uneasiness and obscure atmosphere. They are assembled from analog synthesizers and field recordings – monumental hums of abandoned harbors, ships and construction work or various domestic tones. Even the rhythm section sometimes consists of found sounds and can recreate a melody. Karina also likes to sample acoustic instruments like cello, viola or piano. Occasionally she uses a bass guitar and her own vocals, excerpts from movies or interviews. What results can be described as intelligent noise characterized by lo-fi soundscapes, intermittent industrial rhythms, hypnotic synthesizers and overall magnetism.
