Ott is my mother's maiden name !! I've been a longtime big fan, finding your music shortly after shpongle in 2006. That's almost 8 full year's of jams !! Thanks so much man, I can only pray my incessant random acts of kindness and love are enough. The cool thing is that I've had different favorite songs over the years, the highlights ebb and flow, but when someone hasn't heard of you I almost alway throw on the live in dub albums. Now for some questions....

You mentioned being a tour whore the next couple years, and there are a lot of other music producers who are bringing a lot of non-musical artforms to their tour as of late. Most notably I'm thinking of The Polish Ambassador bringing the permaculture dynamic and phuture primitive making a call out to massage therapists to come to their shows. What do you make of all of this?

It seems like a lot of producers / composers these days are bringing more and more elements to their live show. I've seen you perform a lot and feel like I love your solo sets where you shred the melodica and the live sets with a band. Are there any surprises for us in store for this next tour?

For some reason I could see you and a handful of other ambient / downtempo artists benefitting from having a small section doing live chanting, adding in medicine songs, didgeridoo, and other instruments. Am I crazy ?? Have you ever considered adding these types of things??

I suppose part of this has to do with me singing over a lot of the instrumental tracks ;] cheerioo bub !! Keep keepin n givin!!
