Almost as soon as OTR88 was on the drawing board, we immediately determined to contact prominent musicians who could be interested in such a product.
The very first name that sprang to mind was of course, Herbie Hancock. As it happened, Mr. Hancock was on tour at various jazz festivals in France during summer 2008. Coincidentally, Nicolas had plans to spend two weeks in the south of Brittany, which corresponded perfectly with Herbie Hancock¹s visit to Lorient.

It didn't take us long to realize that here was a unique opportunity to meet him. Sorry, I can¹t share the top-secret procedures we used to reach him, but Nicolas and his blurry, sandy camera phone finally got a 30-minute meeting with Herbie!

One might think that with such a background and influence on music history, the man might not have a great deal of interest in developments coming from the virtual world, but that was not the case at all. He showed a curiosity and enthusiasm that exceeded our wildest expectations.

Not only did he listen to the concept we were working on, but started talking about some features he would like to see implemented whilst giving us a great deal of his precious advice.

We are really thankful to him for this warm welcome and in helping OTR88 succeed in opening a new bridge between virtual and real worlds.
