Which artist/ composer on Octatrack?

I’ve been looking at what the Octa can do and an very impressed. But it’s clear that, as with any instrument, the player makes the music.

Thinking about this, I began to wonder what someone like Bach, Hendrix, Eno or the FSOL would make of the machine!

What producers, composers or musicians would you like to see/ hear jamming out on an Octatrack and why?

I’d like to see what madlib would cook up. He seems a bit anti-technology from interviews i’ve read though. Dilla would’ve been interesting too. I’d generally like to see more octatrack hip hop

I feel like “Stockhausen” would be the ‘obvious’ answer here… :wink:

I know Danny Wolfers has one but I haven’t identified it on any of his releases yet and I have a feeling Elektron just comped him one when they had him make that sample pack.

Paul Pena because he was a master at warping the capabilities of his voice.

Johnny Cash for his sense of rebelliousness.

Atari Teenage Riot because I haven’t heard a lot of noisy punk esthetic tracks done with the OT.

Loving all these opinions. Some many musicians to check out though!

I think I saw this on Elektron.se but one of my all time favorites, MGMT.

John Bonham :sunglasses:
