It's a Starck. I posted Ori-Coustic as a puzzler early last year. I think 
it's a marketing term meaning "I'm a no talent, junk peddling Ad guy who 
won't get paid unless I come up with an exotic sounding marketing term". 
The guy who thought it up was immediately caught in a closed semantic loop 
and hasn't been heard from since (sense, cents).

PS: My spell checker suggested Caustic for Coustic. Seems reasonable to me.
