Though Karlophone wouldn't begin in earnest until [[1996]], Koch was performing live with turntables as early as November [[1992]]. He featured on the bill of a [[Weezer concert: 11/21/1992|10-band show]] that [[Weezer]] hosted at the now-defunct Alligator Lounge in Los Angeles that month. Karlophone formed from music and recording experiments started in [[1996]] by Karl Koch. Originally inspired by a combo of the sample and sound collage work of early '90s hip-hop and the newfound affordability of samplers and musical gear, an attempt was started to make songs out of a blend of samples and self-recorded music. | Though Karlophone wouldn't begin in earnest until [[1996]], Koch was performing live with turntables as early as November [[1992]].
