Please Insert Coin: ‘Games’ by The Octopus Division

‘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...

The artist behind "Lost": Miss Torsion

Miss Torsion

Miss Torsion

... is the singer and guitarist of the band Lowest Fi. She has been guitarist in the band Cell Division and Andy Hates Us. The music feels something like going for a walk in nasty weather, meeting friends on the way and then the sun comes up.


How would you describe the human behind the artist Miss Torsion and how did you get into music?

Miss Torsion, Gothic
The person behind the artist is strange, but nice. A little oversensitive and pranoid but intelligent enough not to trust her own thoughts. I come from a musical family where you had to play an instrument. It really started to be fun when I discovered the gothic scene and music started to be comfort and security for me.


"Lost" sounds extraordinary and great, what or who was your inspiration?

Uncomfortably, my own experience.


Concerning your songwriting process, how do you start working on a song in general?

I relax and open my heart and mind. Most of the time, the ideas come all by themselves. I can't force my muse. Sometimes nothing happens at all. But most of the time, sounds embrace my feelings and transform them into music.


Being an Indie Artist in Zurich is ...?

Independent


What are your Top 3 songs, right now, in this second?

Miss Torsion, Zurich
Ninet Tayeb „Paper Parachute“, 
Pink Turns Blue „Something Deep Inside“, 
Laplegua „I Will Heal“


Any chance to see you somewhere live on stage?

With my solo project Miss Torsion probably not so soon, because I only have 5 songs so far and no band. But I sing and play guitar in a band called "Lowest Fi" which is ready for concerts.

...and, what are your plans for 2023?

Serving the music and being true to myself.
