Dr. Otto Skrzyk is a multi-instrumentalist who writes and plays original music. You can expect a variety of styles that are a mix of electronic, funk, progressive, and folk. Their music uses unique layers of traditional folk instruments, such the irish bouzouki and bodhrain, with synthesizers and guitar. They use open source tools such as Ardour, KXStudio, Helm, and others thus avoiding commercial studio software entirely.
They have also had a long career as a Linux and Virtualization engineer. The creative and technological worlds are intertwined and inform one another. Their music reflects this.
Files related to the music creation such as notation, midi, or synth patches will be made available on github where feasible.

Instead, we are on a federated, decentralized network known as the “Fediverse”, or more commonly as Mastodon. It is similar to twitter (microblogging), but run largely by volunteers and people just like us. Our profile can be found on hackers.town.
