Oftiani

Oftiani is a couple of indie artists whose origin story is also a love story, as the high school sweethearts met making music in marching band. The duo strives for art rock: aural artwork achieved through expeditions of melodic, poetic, and rhythmic exploration… 

The pair's instrumentation is equally avant-garde due to their fortes being percussion and woodwind… Alongside saxophone, flute, and drums, ukulele and bass supplant rock music’s stereotypical six-string, while keyboard percussion (marimba and glockenspiel) stand in for stock synthesizers. The sound fashioned is a fusion of alternative, indie folk, and indie rock.

Besides being a band, Oftiani LLC is a record label and music publisher — so the twosome's homespun songs are genuinely DIY music.

The partners' work dually reflects their passion for music (and the arts in general) and their passion for each other. As such, the creations here are intimate, emotional, and unadulterated — recorded au naturel with basic equipment.
