psytones Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hi, Just a quick question in the spirit of Neilz - how do you pronounce 'Ott'? When I first found a Ott CD I had no idea who he was, but I knew the name Hallucinogen. So I bought it. Great CD, one of the best. From that day I pronounced it OspaceTspaceT. A few years later I read that it was pronounced Ot. Like Lot, without the L. I still say O t t, Even my friends who Ive introduced his music say O t t. I know its in some stage an offence to not take lessen and pronounce it the way it is ment but I like O t t. are you down with the o to the t? Ot OhTeTe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insejn Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 He said in an interview, he even cursed about it, that it's NOT Oh Tee Tee (O T T). It's Ott. As in otter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abasio Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 ott sounds really retarded (like skylon) so I don;t attribute it with the Hallucinogen in Dub album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergroover Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 it is Ott (as in lot). If it was Oh Te Te, it would have been written OTT. imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattMan Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 For anyone with the Twisted 2007 DVD, he explains this. Ott, written "Ott", rhyming with "snot". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insejn Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Snot, where he found the etnics samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redington Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I always pronounced it as Ott. O T T sounds kind of dumb to me. If his work was all labeled OTT then maybe i would say Oh Tee Tee. But it isn't, so I don't. And it makes me happy that he says it's pronounced Ott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simorq Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'm going out on limb here because I've never seen it confirmed, but I think he named himself after Jonathan Ott, an ethnobotanist and psychedelic researcher....that's why I've always said Ott like "ought" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhale Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 OTT != Oh Tee Tee O.T.T. = Oh Tee Tee A LOT of cover artwork uses purely capital letters.

supergroover Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 have you seen ? the whole sentence is in CAPITAL LETTERS. THEN YOU CAN'T WRITE Ott. if it would have been oh tea tea. I thought it would stand for 'off the track'.. not sure why though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTP Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I always pronounced it simply "ott", like in Otto without the last o. No O.T.T., oh tee tee, oh tea tea, oh titty or whatever... And I find it god that the guy himself wants it pronounced like that aswell. Although I don't give very much about his work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
