about the record
Ot To, Not To is the alias of Ian Mugerwa. Combining low fidelity electronic recording techniques with unconventional song structures, his music pays homage to dusty old blues recordings.
Mugerwa began making ‘Goshen’ at 19, after leaving his hometown of Fairfax for Richmond. Whilst sleeping on friends' floors, he would sneak into the Virginia Commonwealth University’s music facilities at night with borrowed audio equipment and record until the early morning. Here he began exploring new aesthetics in Black Music through the use of non-traditional methods, creating R&B that starkly contrasts the clean, sterile contemporary form.
Throughout ‘Goshen’, Ot To, Not To deliberately focuses on experimentation within the context of pop music, believing that music is most innovative when unorthodox ideas are made accessible to all.
