I am an animatronic character designer for the film industry… love all types of art and tech… enjoy exploring philosophical and moral topics that affect society and the human condition…

Posing with SM-33 one of the many characters I was fortunate enough to do animatronics on for the Star Wars universe! #skeletonCrew #StarWars #droids #animatronics

@syntetisaattori.bsky.social Im also a puppeteer so the animatronic machines are the ones I can bring to life… but the space where music and machine befriend is what I love… Id love to use sensors to give a voice to nature someday. maybe when I retire :). Anyways wanted to introduce myself :)

@syntetisaattori.bsky.social I just wanted to say that I am really enjoying your music. I am far from a musician but I love music and music makers wether they be man or machine… I build machines but don’t really know how to make them come to life…. At least not the musical ones.

Made this Arduino based laser harp from scratch. It is midi based and can sense beam breaks as well as length of beam. It can also play both hands simultaneously (polyphonic). #arduino #DIY #electronicMusic #3dPrinting #DIYProject #synth #musicalInstrument #electronicMusic #EDM

Had a ton of fun designing animatronics and puppeteering this one! We were only on-set a few days, but the vibes were super positive between everyone. I honestly wish we had been able to stay longer! Watch YOU’RE CORDIALLY INVITED!!!
