Aagtive (Pronounced “Octave”) creates original music that is quirky, exciting and hypnotic. Painting soundscapes that will send your imagination into far-off places. Using rare vintage synths combined with modern tech makes for music you’ve never heard before. Employing vintage synthesizers as well as modern tech to find the sound of the future. Aagtive is currently made up of one band member, Jason, who from the comfort of his home studio is stepping outside of his classical piano training to make original music with unusual sound designs. Aagtive is growing attention online and has had some college radio features across Canada after the release of his debut album earlier this year.
