My name’s Kevin.

If you’ve happened to stumble upon my music online and managed to find this website hiding in plain sight behind the firewalls known as “total obscurity,” then you are an intrepid digital explorer and I admire your grit.

If you’ve taken a look at my music releases on Apple Music or other platforms, you might be wondering why I’ve released so much music in such a short time since the summer of 2022 (377 original songs!).

I’ve written a brief Q & A article to answer that question here:

WHY HAVE I WRITTEN, RECORDED, AND RELEASED 377 ORIGINAL SONGS SINCE JULY 2022?

About me:

I was born in Montana and grew up in California. I write and record American/’90s-influenced rock/alternative/singer-songwriter music with strong doses of electronic genres (influenced by Glitch Mob, Daft Punk, M83, Paul Oakenfold, Boys Noize, Com Truise, Big Black Delta, and others) — under the name “Kevin Ott” on music streaming platforms.

I also write and record electronic instrumental music under the artist name Lo-Flying Planets.

All music proceeds received during the “12 Days of Christmas” project (that began 12/25/2022) went to charities helping families caught in the catastrophic famine in Africa (Self-Help Africa) and to charities supporting the Navajo Nation (especially as Navajos grapple with an ongoing, urgent water crisis).

Writing music is a side joy and a mental health break when I’m not working my day job as a computer coder in higher education. I love to travel, explore nature, get lost in large museums and aquariums, and go on road trips with my family.

I’m also a writer of books on the side, and in 2016 I published a book with BroadStreet Publishing called Shadowlands and Songs of Light. Visit my “Writing” section to see my “Ribbons of Rust” blog and to find more information about my writing.

Thanks for reading and listening.
