Going forward through 2023 and beyond, there are too many albums and singles being released on any given week or month to place them all on these lists, but you can find the latest release by searching for “Kevin Ott” in any digital music streaming platform such as Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube, etc. or whichever platform is used in your country. The releases below mark the first full year of my music-based journaling project, which began in 2022 and which you can read about here:

Seed

Released 1/5/2023, the first new album of 2023.

I’ve been waiting for this beautiful day,
I see the sunrise,
Shining on snow white,
Blue sky is shouting loud, ‘You set my feet on spacious ground!’
New Year’s epiphany,
New Year’s sunrise,
You set my feet,
You set my heart,
On spacious ground.
— from the song "New Year's Epiphany"

Chinese New Year

Released 11/2/22.

Wandering,
Along the dragon stalls and merchant booths,
Through the fireworks and columns,
Of Chinese New Year,
Climb the tower, to the top now,
Climb the tower,
See the view.
— from the song "Chinese New Year"
I’m sitting motionless,
On top of the avalanche,
It’s time to be still,
And watch Your plans unfold...
The bells are ringing,
It’s time now,
To enjoy the stormy weather...
— from the song "Enjoy the Stormy Weather"

Christmas in New York

Released 11/1/22.

You slip into the city street,
Like it’s brand new clothes,
You’re dancing under falling snow,
In your brand new shoes,
Hear the shuffle of angels’ feet
Under the Empire State,
You’re walking under Christmas lights,
You know that something’s changed.
— from the song "Christmas in New York"
The snow suddenly stops,
The clouds break apart,
I can see the stars of Pegasus,
Galloping in the night,
The moonlight is shining on the snow,
As we walk with quiet steps,
I can see the lights of the house ahead,
We’re almost there.
— from the song "Night Walk to the Christmas Party"

1.6 Billion Fireflies

Released 10/29/22.

When will you open the blue skylight? When will I see the face of paradise? I’m sitting here, with my feet hanging off the edge of the world. How long until Wisdom finds me?
— from the song "1.6 Billion Fireflies"
Racing from the underground,
Into the broad daylight,
Total transformation overnight,
You can’t,
You can’t believe your eyes.
Infinite chances come down to one moment.
— from the song "Total Transformation Overnight"

7th Dimension

Released 10/19/22.

I’m just passing through your timezone, passing through your century, passing through all of history, passing through with my eyes on home.
