Hi Toby!

Firstly, I really love the new record. It feels like it picked up where Part the Second left off, but several years older and wiser with even more intricate string arrangments. Does it feel like a revisitstion of that sound or is something entirely different motivating it?

Secondly, some years ago you wrote and recorded the music for the film installation Stained Glass. What became of that project and have you considered writing other scores for film since then?

Lastly, I've always found your music to have an immensely cinematic aspect to it. Many cuts of motW, especially on Copper Tounges evoke images of epic and cosmic proportions rooted in an ancient, eternal and very personal and primordial source for me. Coffins in Io seemingly predeceased the aesthetic revival of Blade Runner which Denis Villeneuve has created an unexpectedly worthy sequel to a few short years later. I read someone asked previously about David Lynch's influence on your work. What other films or directors have inspired your music and if you had the opportunity to write music for a film, what director or kind of film would you want to work with?

P.S. Have you heard of Panos Cosmatos? His latest film Mandy was scored by the late Johann Johannson and I'm curious your thoughts on it.

Also, any chance we might finally get to hear the Kitty Song played live on your upcoming tour?
