John Korsrud is a Canadian composer and jazz trumpeter. He's also the leader of The Hard Rubber Orchestra. More on that later.

John Korsrud studied with Louis Andriessen in Amsterdam, NL, and he has worked with Tetzepi and with the Zapp String Quartet to name two.

"Odd Jobs, Assorted Climaxes" collects pieces that John wrote for (and /sometimes performed with) various ensembles.
It's an impressive set of contemporary music.

Here's 'Glurp', performed by the Combustion Chamber ensemble. Track two on the album.
(the strange sample (??) that you hear during this YouTube recording at 4:12 is also present on the CD recording. Don't know what to make of it...)
