math-rock / hardcore punk
Octopoulpe emerged from the depths of a fish tank in Seoul in 2015, bringing to life a unique blend of math-rock and hardcore punk.
With multiple tentacles in motion, this half-naked creature uses his drums to control additional instruments, lights, and video projections all around him.
Sharing the stage with his digital alter egos and a rotating lineup of special guests, Octopoulpe creates a one-of-a-kind live performance that fuses music, technology, and boundless creativity.
Far from a traditional concert, each show is a fully interactive experience. Every sound, video, and light is triggered directly from the drums connected to his laptop, turning the performance into an audiovisual playground.
The audience is invited to join in, sometimes holding the drumsticks and becoming part of the show, like playing a video game or pulling off a "fatality" in Mortal Kombat.
Beyond the chaos, some shows even take on a theatrical form, unfolding as complete stories on stage.

Tellarek is a duo based in Cologne, consisting of Pablo Santamaria Navarro on drums and Ahmetcan Gökçeer on bass, loops & FX, playing instrumental post-rock with influences from noise, prog, indie and electronic music. Weaving composed songs with improvised passages, with Tellarek’s unique sound, their set is full of energy and unexpectedness.
