Matthew Steinke and a merry band of robotically-played instruments

February 12, 2013 - 02:15 AM

Octant is a synth-pop project comprised entirely of mastermind Matthew Steinke and a merry band of robotically-played instruments. The homemade blip-bleeping creations are genius and a sight to see, especially in a place like Sycamore – a Ditmas Park, Brooklyn, bar that also happens to double as a flowershop – where the rustic atmosphere brings out the surprising warmth of the robotics. The bots? whimsical tunes combined with Steinke?s singer-songwriter tone give Octant a refreshingly futuristic sound – one that, despite all the metal and machines, feels warm and charming.
