Findlinge
released January 4th, 2024 on Zanderhythm
“Findlinge” is a nice trip through sample textured electronica that still can make you dance. This one suits for train rides, bike tours and psychedelic midnight picnics.

Faeces
released November 14, 2020
Wikipedia says:
“Feces (or faeces) is the solid or semisolid remains of food that was not digested in the small intestine, and has been broken down by bacteria in the large intestine. Faeces contains a relatively small amount of metabolic waste products such as bacterially altered bilirubin, and dead epithelial cells from the lining of the gut.”
Octobird says:
“If it smiles at you, it’s good for you! Don’t let its shriveled appearance put you off, pick it up and take it with you for a walk. And when you come back, you have made a new friend that you haven’t “liked” before.”
AM Sessions
released June 24, 2020
Inspired by the recording workflow from the sessions with his like minded fella Vodor L. Zeck, Octobird got himsal an 8-track digital recorder and startet jamming.
Similar to the recordings from the recent Tram Komputer Release, these jams reveal themselves more or less as a raw distillate from spontaneous sessions, driven by repetitive patterns, exuberant modulations and a midi clock. Recorded in a single run and shrunk down to a bearable size later on.
Like Dessert Sessions… but on Midi Clock.
Organelle
released May 31, 2019 on Pr0gramma
Organelle drives in and out of a polar spectrum: the shadowed, looping post-industrial grit of Treevolt and the more luminous, organic left field of Woodrough. The area between these aesthetic pillars makes each juncture that much more unique. The ebbs and flows somehow follow a natural trajectory despite being far from predictable making for 34 dense minutes that never overstay their welcome. The staple dissonant riffs, busy perc, and tasteful bridges all remain intact, but in evolution from Octobird’s last, Baikonur, Organelle seems to retain and build with a more concretely directed pace driving each listen through a more diverse myriad of textures and seemingly very real places yet all with an oddly particular fidelity that suggests some weird sense of omnipotent control.

Baikonur EP
Released on September 14, 2018 on Pr0gramma Records
“With a progressive blend of uncanny melodies and warping harmonics, the Baikonur EP feels almost like a computer data process that somehow got itself locked into techno rhythms. The organic timbre even lies oddly between raw synthesis and heavily processed acoustics. These binaries ultimately balance but provide a mysticism that uniquely destabilizes the listen. Particularly Baikonur and The Gate exemplify this eccentric mix of evolving musicality and an odd sense that it’s all just data being filtered through melodious substructures.”
