Karolina Rec is a composer and cellist - she has been performing under the name Resina since 2016. So far Fat Cat Records / 130701 released her two albums ("Resina", 2016 and "Traces", 2018) and an EP with remixes ("Traces - Remixes", 2019, by Ben Frost and Lotic among others). The soundtrack entitled Vampire: The Masquerade – Shadows of New York was released by the Polish label Coastline Northern Cuts on September 10, 2020. Later this year it will be available on purple 12" vinyl record. More info soon.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Shadows of New York is a standalone expansion to its predecessor, Coteries of New York. These two games are the only new, fully licensed titles representing the dark and mysterious universe of Vampire: The Masquerade, one of the most popular and respected tabletop RPG games in history. Shadows of New York, just as Coteries, is a narrative-rich interactive experience, which allows players to become a young vampire, exploring contemporary Big Apple, full of vampiric plots and schemes, struggle for power and survival within a complex set of rules and dependencies, trying to solve an unspeakable crime. Coteries won the hearts of many fans of Vampire: the Masquerade, visual novels players, an audience which loves deep stories and making choices. Both games were developed by the independent studio Draw Distance.

“During the composition stage I really wanted to quickly build an expressive musical alter-ego to Resina. Even though the music that I’ve been composing so far was the reason why I was approached to make this soundtrack, the majority of the tracks aren’t something that I could envision as a part of a potential Resina album. My goal was to construct a very special and distinct color, to capture the aura behind the game's lining and meticulously constructed atmosphere – which I immediately was captivated by.”
