I (Austin Theodore) have been regularly in bands/playing shows, in Atlanta & Athens, GA (including one show in Chapel Hill, NC), from 2003-2016. I was almost always on the bass and backing vocals. The most serious bands included Moon Unit, Prez the Boxer & the Stoplight Roses. I started working on some of the songs and doing low-fi recordings as early as 2007 under the name "Manic Pansy and the Spinning Animated Man". 

Otter Space started as a way to use my own music & lyrics; have control of how the EP/demos & the polished album. I recorded, mixed & released the EP of demos for the Question Mark Sea in 2012. I was regularly playing local open-mic nights, as Otter Space, weekly in 2012-2013. 

The Question Mark Sea was written between 2010-2015. Willis Holder was essential in making this album happen from 2014-2016. We recorded in Spring & Summer of 2015, & my wife Alison has also been doing all media since 2015. 

I met Willis Holder when I started playing bass with The Stoplight Roses in early 2014. Willis is a talented multi-instumentalist, singer, and song-writer and has the ability to transform any ideas that I have into something extraordinary. He produced, played many of the instruments while singing harmonies.

I released  The Question Mark Sea in October of 2019. My wife, Alison Theodore / Cinebot Video will be releasing the video for Kaleidoscopic Memory.

Not to mention the extraordinary help from Bob Wheeler with Sound Engineering & Bandi Tomaschek @Spinning Whale Studios for Mastering.

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep." - Scott Adams

"What occurs in the world is that everyone who is born, is born, in some manner of speaking, a poet, the creator of something that did not exist in the world before, till they were born. It is entirely individual.
Man is not born to work, Man is born to create, to be that poet at random. And give to the world his own particular message, to realize the work that can be done and because he is unique, his work will be the only one of the kind in the world." - Agostinho da Silva
