Cyrus Nabipoor
Organizing sounds and telling stories. Trumpeter and composer Cyrus Nabipoor’s singularly unique voice speaks of honesty, humanity, and the tragic beauty of existence. Warm and lyrical, with a unique sense of phrasing, he balances focused clarity with daring exploration. In both composition and improvisation, melody reigns. Through his pairing of trumpet and electronics, Nabipoor bridges the conceived dichotomy of nature & technology and explores new tonal possibilities.
