Pineross

Pineross is a Tucson-based electronic-folk trio lead by songwriter/producer Kevin Larkin and featuring Jake Ransom on percussion/ mallets and Daniel Becker on bass clarinet. Pineross’ latest release, Dragoon, was inspired by the harsh and beautiful landscape of the Sonoran desert. The music takes listeners on a journey into the borderlands where history and mythology blend into our current polarized reality, ultimately searching the horizon for a moment of peace. “It’s ambling vibe exists within the space between Ennio Morricone and Andrew Bird.” - Pop Matters

Larkin has released three albums and an EP under the Pineross moniker and composes ambient/sound collage music under the name Aamateur Aastronomy. He spent the last decade creating theatrical productions with art-folk collective Chimney Choir, performing while suspended from trees during the Breckenridge International Festival of Art, and designing an interactive sound installation as Artist in Residence at Great Sand Dunes National Park. Kevin has collaborated with filmmakers, puppeteers, dancers, environmentalists, songwriters, and poets. His work often explores the intersection of the organic and digital aspects of sound, incorporating manipulated field recordings and processed acoustic sources.
