KÁRYYN has been played on NTS over 10 times, featured on 10 episodes and was first played on 4 May 2017.

KÁRYYN is Karin Tatoyan, a Syrian-Armenian American composer turned electronic artist, based in Los Angeles, CA. Her debut EP Quanta 1 was released in early 2017 and includes the single "Aleppo", a four-minute lament “all about the brain processing memory” that recalls, in the track as well as its home-video style accompanying visual, childhood stays in the city with her cousins. “I wrote this song in 2015 during a time when the word or the name Aleppo wasn’t being said very often,” she explains. Her music and multimedia work (including "Of Light", a multimedia project with American director Samantha Shay inspired by her mentor Marina Abramovic) has been praised by Björk, and she cites John Tavener and Arvo Pärt as influences.
