Artists To Watch In 2026: itchy-O
With a driving drum corps battery, taiko drummers, an arsenal of electronics including synthesizers, theremin, vocoders, and other custom-made sonic devices, Denver, Co based itchy-O completely engulfs an audience from every angle in an electric bog of music, ephemera, and spectacle.
Lauded as one of today’s most unique musical performance experiences, the group disrupts traditional performance protocols with a form of chaos that unifies spectators and audiences. Itchy-O performances awaken the senses, test assumptions, and create an opening for new experiences where identity and boundaries surrender and disband.
After unleashing their double 180gm vinyl record, SÖM SÂPTÂLAHN this last year that used custom-built metallophones and gongs, born from 600 pounds of reclaimed bronze in collaboration with the Colorado School of Mines, an offering for seekers of the experimental, the contemplative, and the transcendent.. itchy-O continues to create transcendent spiritual experiences with performances that confound the senses and disorient perceptions of place, time, order, reason and categorical identity. Inviting audiences to embrace mystery and join us in passing between knowing, unknowing, self and other.
