Octant was an experimental noise rock[1][2] duo formed in 1999 in Washington State. They recorded two full-length albums, released on Up Records.[3][4] The duo was led by multiinstrumentalist and instrument designer Matt Steinke, with Tassany Zimmerman primarily on synthesizer. Their live show included an electromechanical automated drum machine[1] designed and built by Steinke.

In 2010, Steinke announced a Kickstarter campaign for a new Octant record.[5] Zimmerman was not involved. The self-titled album was released on January 15, 2011.
