Andi Otto is a sound artist, composer and cellist from Hamburg. On stage, he plays a sensor-extended cello bow which he has developed in collaboration with STEIM in Amsterdam. This „Fello“ instrument allows for gestural performance of the electronically processed sounds of the amplified cello. As a producer Andi Otto has released six albums on various labels. He traveled to India, Japan and Rwanda for his musical collaborations. He composed the music for Max Fey's debut film „Zwischen Uns“, showing in cinemas in summer 2022. When he composes for theatre and dance performances, he rarely works with ordinary forms of scoring a play or show. Instead, he has developed various open sound installations for performers embodying and interacting with electronic sound in fine-tuned stage situations. Andi Otto is also a member of the Flinnworks performance collective from Berlin and co-founder of the Pingipung record label. He teaches Sound Arts at the Bern Academy of the Arts and hands-on classes on mapping experimental interfaces at Leuphana Lüneburg and HU Berlin.
