Chirag Davé/ casualsalad (live performance) -

Octonomy (live performance) -
Octonomy is the moniker of Heidi Lorenz, a Brooklyn-based sonic artist. Octonomy operates outside of genre signifiers but is underpinned by her propensity towards the drone. She performs and composes with hardware synthesizers, found sounds, field recordings, voice, power tools, samples, noise, reverb and distortion to create rhythmic soundscapes; psychedelic monoliths of an esoteric, ever-pulsing beat.
