Touch the shape of sound with a new musical instrument - OTO

Every instrument, from the deer-skin drum, to the 88-key concert-piano, has faced the same design constraint: the need to make sound. Physical sound generation, whether by a vibrating string, or a resonating brass chamber, is beholden to the acoustic properties of material physics. With digital synthesis, though, this is no longer the case. Control and input interfaces can now look and feel how they sound. Sonic Geometry’s aim is to leverage this novel freedom to make exciting, intuitive musical devices that cause people to re-examine their conceptions of what instruments look and feel like.

We have launched our Kickstarter campaign in order to fund the first production batch of OTO controllers. Though we have prototyped extensively via 3d printing, Kickstarter’s backing will allow us to transition to manufacturing, making OTO available to everyone. We estimate delivery of the production units in April 2017.
