KRIBOPHORIC EVOLVED AS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN DRUMMER/PERCUSSIONIST BOB STERLING AND ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC GUITAR PLAYER KRISPEN HARTUNG. LIVING IN DIFFERENT CITIES, THEY  DECIDED TO EXCHANGE  SOUND FILES  BASED ON  SPONTANEOUS IMPROVISATIONS AND THEN DEVELOP SOUNDSCAPES, SONGS AND TONE POEMS BASED UPON THEIR SHARED IDEAS. AS EACH PIECE DEVELOPED, THEY WOULD ADD IMPROVISATIONS AND AURAL MODIFICATIONS IN ORDER TO DEVELOP A FULLY-REALIZED COMPOSITION. OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS THEY ACCUMULATED A SUBSTANTIAL BODY OF WORK WHICH THEY INTEND TO RELEASE AND SHARE WITH YOU. THEIR FIRST COLLECTION, 'VISCERAL,' IS NOW AVAILABLE AS A CD OR AS INDIVIDUAL MP3 FILES.

BOB AND KRISPEN HAVE NOT LIMITED THEMSELVES SOLEY TO THEIR PRIMARY INSTRUMENTS AND HAVE MADE USE OF A NUMBER OF OTHER INSTRUMENTS AND TECHNIQUES IN ORDER TO ENHANCE THE COMPOSITIONS AND PRODUCE WHAT THEY HOPE IS AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE FOR THE LISTENER.

CONSTANTLY EVOLVING, THE INSTRUMENTS AND IDEAS WILL CHANGE AS THEIR EXPERIENCE AND IMAGINATION ACCRUE AND GROW.
