Musician's Cut EP2: Dream Hacker - otay:onii Interview |

Welcome to the Musicians Cut.
This is the second episode of my interview series. This series will cover specific albums and will give the musician's perspective on the album and its tracks, kind of like a director's commentary on a Blu-ray. A track by track analysis in the perspective of the artist.

In this episode I interview otay:onii about her 2023 album "Dream Hacker",
we dive deep into the themes, thoughts, methods and decisions in her creation process of the album.

This video was inspired by Professor Skye's Black Country, New Road interview series.
