“Her music succinctly paints detailed pictures for films emerging in the minds of its listeners. It’s an extraordinary skill.” – ECHOES AND DUST

“Wordless music that highlights the potential for unity in humankind as well as the danger of repeating history.” – RESIDENT ADVISOR

“Extraordinary… superbly mixes cello, fast-paced drumming and choir… highly original.” – THE LINE OF BEST FIT 9/10

“While there may be a lot of records of this glowering ilk in circulation, this one stands out for its sheer might and poignant restraint, employing a fearless approach to fucking with conventions.” – Boomkat

“A powerhouse of an album, Speechless uses voice without words to convey a message of protest and resolve. The visceral impact is immediate, the depth cavernous, the sonic world immense: a triumph from every angle.” – A CLOSER LISTEN

Resina is alias of Karolina Rec, a composer and cellist based in Warsaw. In 2016, after signing with FatCat Records/130701, she released her albums “Resina”, “Traces” and an EP with remixes of tracks from “Traces” by Ben Frost, Abul Mogard, Lotic and Ian William Craig. Her latest album “Speechless,” which includes compositions for a 24-person choir was released in November 2021. She also writes for film, theater, video games. Resina builds her personal musical language with blurring the boundaries between seemingly different musical genres, playing with tension between the biological/animalistic aspects of performance versus electronic and amplified sound world. Removed from classical contexts, the processed voice and cello brings amalgamation of noise, heavy drumming (by Mateusz Rychlicki), ambient and choral elements, moving from delicate beauty to incandescent undercurrent of danger, from pulsating minimalism to unbridled explosions. Resina is currently working on her fourth solo album and a collaboration – Ego Death with French electronic music composer Aho Ssan.
