Talks & Masterclasses
We are obsessed with improvisation, creativity and the use of technology,
and we are always exited to share our findings.
Our lectures and masterclasses are often mixed with a musical live performance.

Talks
AnnaOtta @ Mobile Week Alcalá de Henares 2021
Under the subject of music and technology we showed our methods of live sampling to build up beats and textures and how we create instruments out of vocal samples both in software and hardware.
AnnaOtta @ FEX Festival Gran Canarias 2021
We were invited, among artists from other disciplines, to talk about creativity and experimentation.
Masterclasses
How to practice inspiration, how to develop musical structures and how to find meaning when improvising. AnnaOtta was born because we asked ourselves these questions and we never stop looking for new ways to answer them.
In our masterclasses we share our methods to create improvisational rules and games for solo and group improvisation. We provide the students with a variety of tools meant to find character and meaning in what they play. They can be adapted to different musical genres or esthetics and they are very useful tools to apply when composing and building up original music projects.
In our music the quality of sound has a big impact, both in our acoustic live singing and electronic manipulation. Therefore we explore timbre, resonance, dynamics and analog effects of the instruments to understand how to translate those qualities into the world of electronic effects and sound processing.
