The Octopus Project is an American indietronica band based in Austin, Texas, active since 1999. Their sound blends pop and experimental elements, and is a combination of digital and electronic sounds and noises (including drum machine, keyboard, synthesizers and other devices) and analog equipment (including guitars and live drums). The band's music is mostly instrumental. 2019 saw the band expanding further into art installation territory, with LOOM II—an immersive, ambient surround sound & surround light performance, which premiered at the Fusebox Festival in Austin, TX.
