Starry Night (excerpt) [MP3]
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. Via Microsound, MP3 hosting from Sound Transit. If you read one source while bombs continue to fall, let it be Mazen’s weblog.
A fantastic piece, and thank you. The instrument is, I’m pretty sure, a contrabass clarinet which is a very powerful, evocative sound in this context.
