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 the 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.

Ping Pong is an innovative music group from NJ featuring Mark Weinberg and Michael Durek. Fusing drone guitar with glitch beats, field samples, and theremin, the duo produce a rich sound palette. They have a powerful live show which displays their unique sonic textures and passion for all things creative.
