Critter & Guitari

Critter & Guitari’s founders, Owen Osborn and Chris Kucinski, met at Skidmore College in 1998, where Kucinski studied art and Osborn studied physics and music. They began making music together in college and their fascination with sound, technology, materials, and design has taken them down numerous creative avenues: producing interactive sculptures, developing commercial electronics kits, and designing museum exhibitions. Currently, they create a line of electronic instruments, which are portable, versatile, and provide a platform for musical and creative exploration. Each of their brightly colored instruments is designed to encourage experimentation with different ways of making sounds. As one journalist wrote, “You’re not sitting down to play Bach — you’re gonna make some weird noises.” Every instrument is assembled and tested by Osborn and Kucinski in their studio in Brooklyn, NY.
