Otto Toskala is a Drone Music studio project dedicated to a single instrument: the guitar, tuned down and played with slide, bow and fingertips rather than a pick. Each piece usually centres on one open tuning, with strings left to resonate sympathetically while a few notes are sustained through volume pedals.
There are no electronics beyond reverb and tape-style delay, which gives the recordings a woody, physical character. The pace is patient and the harmony stays rooted on one drone note throughout. The project fits listeners who prefer an audible instrument behind the drone rather than synthetic tones.
