Cybersonic Outreach

Trumpeter and composer Mark Kirschenmann releases "Cybersonic Outreach," a collection of unedited improvisations. Known for his solo electric trumpet performances, Kirschenmann's use of pedals and plugins expands his expressive palette, allowing him to navigate freely between stylistic idioms and carve out a forward looking aesthetic.

He is also the creative force behind the band E3Q (Block M Records), an eclectic jazz-influenced trio with his wife, cellist Katri Ervamaa, and percussionist Michael Gould. Most recently, he released the solo album This Electric Trumpet (Sonikmann Records); recorded with the Nashville-based electronica duo Sub-ID (BFF, 1320 Records); and appeared with pianist Thollem McDonas, bassist Henry Grimes, flutist Nicole Mitchell, cornetist Rob Mazurek's Sao Paulo Underground, saxophonists Oliver Lake and Arthur Blythe, and pianist Iiro Rantala of Trio Töykeät.
