From SoundTransit - a collaborative, online community dedicated to field recording and phonography:

'We are proud to host Mazen Kerbaj's improvisation/ field recording
Starry Night excerpt - recorded on Mazen's Beirut balcony during the first night of the Israeli assault on Lebanon.'

"a minimalistic improvisation by:
mazen kerbaj / trumpet
the israeli air force / bombs

recorded by mazen kerbaj on the balcony of his flat in beirut,
on the night of 15th to 16th of july 2006."

Mazen Kerbaj was born in 1975 in Beirut and lived there since. His main activities are comics, painting and music. His blog contains writings, drawings and sounds created under the threat of Israeli bombs in Lebanon.

Please share this material with anyone who might be interested in a
first-person account of what is happening right now in the Middle East.'
