After 5 years of hiding in the west-country since
his last album, musical oddity Ott gives Twisted
Records his second solo offering under the name
Skylon. In the last 5 years, the improvements in
software and hardware have given maestro s like
Ott even more scope to toy with and more quality
in the results. A fresh bag of tricks you might
say! You can expect unique modern
electro-acoustic dubs with generous spatterings
of indigenous sounds from around the world ladled
into the mix. But thats not all, there are a few
tracks straying beautifully into different genres
whilst maintaining the laid back but up beat dub
vibe that we know and love. Add that to the usual
mind-blowing production, arrangement, song
writing skills and jaw-dropping effects combos
and you've got a sonic feast emanating from your
speakers. His use of melody is perfectly balanced
between too much and too little, creating a
saturated but not overwhelming wall of emotive
sound. We've said it before and we ll say it
again, the man is a genius

Ott is no stranger to the studio, he has
produced, arranged and recorded for world famous
artists including Sinead O'Connor, The Orb, and
Brian Eno. Working in a wide range of the best
studios in the UK from Butterfly Studios, SARM
East and West, Real World, and Ridge Farm to Foel
in Wales. He has been interviewed in the
producers/engineers bible Sound on Sound for his
studio wits and wisdoms. Highly regarded by music
moguls such as Greg Hunter, Simon Posford, Martin
Youth Glover and many more, this second album
from him will merely reinforce his status as a
leader in art of modern music

His debut album Blumenkraft was a huge success
and spawned a massive following amongst listeners
and producers alike. Skylon will undoubtedly
gather more fans worldwide
