Karmada

About Me


Karmada is, at it's core, a collaborative project by Steve Elliott (guitar) and Matt Conklin (bass). WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A DRUMMER!

Karmada plays instrumental psychedelic rock, with a heavy dose of exploratory improvisation. The goal is to start with a musical jumping point before venturing deep into uncharted territory, listening and playing off each other, adding texture and creating music on the fly. Add to that a heavy helping of dance, funk, prog-rock and post-jazz, and you've got an awesome show!
