This trio only played together once, at Tony Buck's flat in Berlin. We recorded it to have a demo to present to potential festivals, which we forgot to do. Two years later Ingebrigt contacted us saying that he would like to release it as a private downloadable album for the Catalytic Sound series. We listened again and liked the music a lot and released it. I am very glad to make it now available to the general public (the Catalytic Sound series was only available for members), and I still think we should definitely send it to some festivals one day!

Kerbaj is a visual artist and musician from Beirut, living in Berlin.

He is widely considered as one of the initiators and key players of the Lebanese experimental music scene where he co-founded
Irtijal festival and Al Maslakh label.

Kerbaj pushes the boundaries of the trumpet and develops a personal language and innovative techniques. His music is often described as "acoustic electronics".
