My name is Hristo Gospodinov and SHRINE is my own musical project. It was started in fall '2003 when after several years of playing various acoustic instruments i have finally turned to sampling. Under the hard influence of the dark ambient scene from the middle and the end of the 90s, the original idea of the project was to create some noticeable dark ambient works.
Of course the original idea got blurry in the years and has finally disappeared in the wide field of audio experiments. Today SHRINE has no genre limits. Still, i'm interested mostly in 'drifting' type of music, especially to mix nature sounds with machine sounds and other artificial things in an ambient environment. At this point i'm using 3 types of sound sources for my audio creations - artificial sound, music instruments (mostly guitars and flutes) and also field recordings.
After few releases on various labels, in the end of 2007 i've got an invitation from Asmorod's label Snowblood to join their project circle with a new fullenght release. That's a better opportunity for me to develop my project further. So far, so good.
