Musician, Composer, Sound Artist
Kourtney Lara Ross is a Berlin-based musician, composer, and sound artist. Genre-bending and evocative, her sound is an interweaving of electronic instrumentation and musically integrated sound design, creating different moods and auditory worlds. Her work is often tailored for multimedia, immersive, and live visual experiences, where music, technology, and visual storytelling intersect. She has produced a diverse range of works for clients and achieved global recognition through collaborative international projects and multimedia installations.
Berklee College of Music alumna with a B.M. in Contemporary Writing and Production and violin as her principal instrument, she has performed with orchestras, chamber ensembles, and contemporary groups throughout her life. Today, her practice expands beyond the instrument into electronic music. Her process draws from introspection, exploring imagined worlds, parallel realities, and translating them into sound. Through sound, she builds spaces that echo something familiar while remaining just beyond recognition, inviting the listener into a world slightly out of reach.
Her work also extends into music curation for fashion events, clubs, and exhibitions. Since 2021, she has worked as a duo with Berlin-based animator John Tettenborn. One of their most renowned collaborations is a 2024 project for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Shinjuku, Tokyo, which Guinness World Records recognizes as the largest permanent architectural projection-mapping display.
Kourtney is currently working on her debut EP.
