‘Games’ by The Octopus Division If you love the 80s and don't know Matt Muncie (aka The Octopus Division), you've definitely missed something. But as it's never too late for good music, you can catch up on what you've missed anytime and almost anywhere. The Octopus Division's latest work is called ‘Games’ and once again represents the decade of neon lights perfectly. The major sequences are classically chosen, and you'll be hooked from the start. Back in the world of arcade games, the song becomes an intense journey of self-discovery, describing personal growth. Timelessness and shared experiences emphasize the importance of interpersonal bonds. ‘Games’ creates a dreamy atmosphere that allows you to immerse yourself in another world and makes you think about the future - all because you pressed the start button. The entire production clearly bears Matt's signature, with classic drums, synth arrangements, and above all, the usual concise vocal part, which...

Who inspired you to make music in general?
I'm not sure. I remember singing and writing songs since I was little. I think various people helped me develop and learn music and songwriting, but it was always there in me. No one inspired me to make music I just did.
Your latest release "One summer's day" sounds great, what's the story behind the song?
The story is based on real life events from a time I was living in Turkey, getting my driving license and had this one summer that was just really fun about a romance that never was.
It evokes a time of escape and freedom, I hope people feel that when they listen to it. Best for hot, sunny road trips I'd say!
How would you describe your creative process?
I get an idea, a hook for a song or a vibe and then I just work really really hard at developing the song and trying to create the feeling I want through the production. I will always try and get the song written first so it sounds good on its own - just on piano or guitar - before I start working on the production. I always feel it works better if the initial song is great just on guitar without anything else.
Who would you most like to collaborate with?
Anyone who is kind, genuine and not out solely for their own agenda. It's much more fun that way, rather than working with an ego
What are your "All time Top 3 Songs", right now, in this second?
