The potential of melodic light to emerge from a cloudy tangle of artificial audio, the diamonds of harmony buried in the chaos of our shared sound unconscious, these flickers of order represent a horizon that Octant strives to bring into focus. Multi-instrumentalist Matt Steinke (Mocket, Satisfact) builds semi-analog, semi-acoustic, semi-kinetic instruments to drive semi-randomized bionic orchestral-mechanical compositions comprised of corrupted pop algorithims. Best appreciated in visual performance, the songs erupt onstage in a perplexing array of sounds, lights, and flailing machinery.

“I would go out of my way to see an Octant show…”

As the commercial music universe in the early ’00s followed the trend of slicker and more hi-fi electronica, Octant’s primitive automated sound effects strike the listener as fresh and engaging.
