Planivaar began in 2005 as the side project of visual artist Mark Lippett.
Early recordings largely consisted of samples taken from old cassette
recordings, which were then manipulated and mixed with ambient noise and guitar.
Since then the guitar and keyboard have taken a more prominent role although
samples are still used to enhance the sound. No attempt is made to fit in with a
particular genre or trend and any similarity with any other music is purely
coincidental.
