Octavcat - KP Index (2023)

Sitting in the midst of a KP Index 9 storm we find Octavcat hunkered over hardware synths, firing only the finest selections of solar energetic bass particles and ionospheric oscillations into our craniums.


The ‘KP Index’ is a measure of disturbances of the Earth’s magnetic field. Presented in the range of 0-9, the lower numbers indicate calm, whilst 5 and above indicate a geomagnetic storm of epic scale.


Collapsing power grids, spinning compasses and explosive auroras cascade around us as we navigate our way via Polaris and the Tropopause. Oblique acid and angular synths poke us from all angles whilst encasements of warm pads and low end ensure a soothing journey through unstable solar winds.
