After teaching philosophy and musicology in Canada, Otto studied and taught at the Instituut voor Sonologie, Utrecht, The Netherlands (1970-75). Through his work in Utrecht, he became known as a cognitive musicologist focused on artificial intelligence research (1970-1992), and a composer of computer music, both acoustic and electronic. Through his work in organizations, he turned developmental psychologist, writing a second dissertation in 1999, on which his social-science work is based (www.interdevelopmentals.org).
