OTOH
In few words
On summer 2010 I started on my own to develop my thesis project named OTTO.
The process implied learning from a broad range of industrial processes and crafts that I never touched before, like working with silicone, designing a printed circuit board, a custom keyboard, designing a case and its mold and finally making a software for it.

The project
OTTO, was an investigation into musical interfaces and on how to design new interfaces and hardwares for techniques generally used on the software side and then controlled by mouse and keyboard or universal MIDI controllers.
The research was then applied to the development of a musical instrument for realtime and manual beat slicing — a well-developed technique which has never had a dedicated hardware interface.
