Is it a keyboard?

About Me

Hello.We are octavcat. We make music using things like computers and old keyboards. We also make videos and pictures to go with our music. Sometimes we like to play our music out of big speakers in front of people and to make pictures move about on a great big screen.
Music
Octavcat - The EPs 2003 - 2004
Digital re-release of our 2 EPs onHimHimHim Records.
Octavcat - Dumming Up
"Octavcat make excellent slightly harsh but kinda groovy electronica"
Dumming Up review by Warp Records.
Released 2006 onUnlabel Recordings.
Digital re-release onHimHimHim Records.
Octavcat - Dropping Waves
Released 2005 onU Cover Records.
Limited edition CDr combining our two EPs.
"Octavcat mixes up stoner crunch with Kraftwerky bouncefunk, dropping in enough chirruping synths, oddball sounds and machinedrum melodies to admirably distinguish Dropping Waves from the hordes of bleep-merchants running rampant amongst the Warp and Rephlex stables."
Dropping Waves review by www.ei-mag.com
Octavcat - Biggerabit EP
Released 2004 on Blacknight Records.
"Positively one of the finest and most surprising electronic releases of the year".
Biggerabit EP review by www.angryape.com
Octavcat - The Siamese EP
Released 2003 on Blacknight Records.
"Superb 4 track 12" of deep spacey electronics; this is one of the best electronic things in the last couple of weeks".
Siamese EP review by Smallfish Records London.
