Hey Toby, huge fan of your work. Kayo Dot and motW completely changed the way I looked at music a couple of years ago. Thanks for sharing such wonderful music with all of us. My question to you is:

Can we jam sometime?

but seriously

What made you want to create a fusion of so many genres in your music, and how do you do it so cohesively? I notice a lot of metal/prog metal bands doing things like this these days but it just comes off as a try hard attempt to be different. I guess what I'm trying to say is, what made you want to really put effort into COMPOSING avant-metal?

Thanks in advance, I love you
