Otto is well-versed in creating sensory experiences that are both unearthly and deeply human. His work with Electrolight on Sydney's Martin Place Metro station's 'Muru Giligu' tunnel earned their audio-visual installation the IALD Award and an APRA AMCOS nomination for 'Electroacoustic/Sound-Art'. That same artistic sensibility flows into his solo work, blending texture, mood, and emotion into a single cohesive vision.
 
'On My Mind', mixed by Jack Prest (Skrillex, Flume, ASAP Rocky, and more), opens with ethereal vocals and gently woven piano keys, before evolving into something layered and unexpected. As shimmering synths and clicking percussion join the mix, the track fuses atmospheric intimacy with rhythmic drive. By the time the electronic drums kick in, Otto creates a hypnotic push and pull between angelic vocal layers and primal beats, crafting a song that moves beyond structure and into soundscape.
 
Written, performed, and produced entirely in the Petersham home he shares with his wife, 'On My Mind' is a love letter in its purest form. With their first child due in November, Otto captures a moment of stillness and gratitude, making his debut release as personal as it is expansive.
