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..."

Octant is performing in the NYC area, and planning mini tours
for this summer and fall, as well as creating new recordings
that can be downloaded from www.octantmusic.com. Fans can look
forward to new official Octant gadgets like the Mini-Sampler-Therimin-Watch,
as well as limited edition releases on CD and vinyl.
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.
