Kite Flying Robot is a band formed in San Francisco, California. Having played guitar in rock bands for years, Thompson experimented with a sound combining the aggression of Rock music with the endless soundscapes of Electronic music and the fun and danceability of Pop.
Kite Flying Robot has largely been a mobile music project of songwriter/singer Thompson, with residencies in Oklahoma City and Seoul, South Korea, collaborating with other unique and talented musicians befriended along the way. The music often feels genre-bending, with beats between dance and hip-hop, trumpets and violins dancing around synthesizer landscapes, electric guitar like The Edge sitting in on the 1970 Ziggy Stardust sessions, and a unique feel found somewhere between moody ballads and hopeful pop anthems.
