hey marzen,
your blog mentioned on "radio FBI" in Sydney Australia.
(radio FBI is an independent radio station, nothing to do with law enforcement, really)
Keep up the good work
mazen, heard about your blog on jjj radio in Australia today.
stay free!
Salut, si je me plante pas je t'ai vu aux "Instants" à Montreuil avec sharif Shenaoui ?
Tes dessins sont vraiment super bien que le sujet soit pas top il faut en convenir ...
Donc, penses que tu as des amis musiciens qui pensent à toi dans cette foutue merde ....
Courage

Hi Mazen, stay safe. I like your blog and will definitely come back to visit. My fathers side of the family is from Baalbek which gives me a strong connection to the Lebanon.

thanks for the updates, i've been w/ you (reading your blog) since the july 17. i've been a fan of your playing beforehand thanks to talents like ricardo arias et al (telling the word). i'm looking forward to the day i can play w/ you. thank you for your strength and mental/artistic fortitude.
(replicating the plight of your compatriots on my list virally)
hugs all around,

Your drawings and sounds had a huge effect on me. I will be praying for you and your loved ones. I wish I knew more things I could do.
I posted your recording on my website:

As for your problems uploading your drawings to Blogspot, have you considered getting a Flickr account?
Millenia B.C: Phoenicians leave the ports of Tyre and Sidon in their efforts to spread to the seas and discover the Mediterranean. Among the many islands they populate is the island that the greeks would later call Melita - the land of honey - later to become Malta.
Millenia B.C. to 1964:Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Greeks, Arabs, Normans, Spaniards, Angevins, Knights of Jerusalem (then Knights of Malta), French and finally English successively occupy the island and its peoples. The Maltese people achieve independence in 1964 and join the European Union in 2004.
July 2006. A Maltese in Luxembourg sits at his computer and the only irritating noise around is of the lawn mower mowing the grass in the park outside. Breakfast comes from a full frige and the only mobility outside is that of commuters off to their day of work. On the pc Kerblog and the bbcnews remind me of the troubles on the side of the world where it all began.
Very little (or none) of the blood of the Phoenicians from the land of the cedar tree probably runs through my veins. Our only common link is our semitic/arabic language that stayed strong through the ages. Yet I can still feel a strong empathy for your situation and of that of thousands of others who are suffering the consequences of war and failed diplomacy.
Words are hard to find. I wish you luck with your blog and I hope that you can still find it in your heart to look ahead to a brighter future. Keep up the blogging!

Hi mazen,
keep strong, and I really hope everything will be over soon. Meanwhile, keep it like this, I like the way you distinguish politics and arts...
it's everybody's fault...
Dear Mazen,
Thank you for sharing your courage, your spirit and of course your art with us all over the world. Lebanon is in our prayers and thoughts--

what I see is a single man saved by a nation's catastrophy.
Dear Mazen,
i regret to say to you that the sound in tape is beautiful. It's beautiful because we are not under the bomb. That silence, that space is so beautyfull for me because it didn't mean any direct danger.
Yet i could understand why all that people enjoy to play with arms as baby with toys, because they are on the good side and can hear their strong imbecility
I never touch an arm i prefer my trombone as you pen and trumpet it is the right and difficult thing to do.
and i hope never hear nuclear bomb or whatever as the japanese.
and i remember gallery sd which was bombing
Protect yourself as you can and amitiés to all the beyrouth improvisers.
Thierry from paris
Maz,
I'll put your sound up on my website too, if it's still necessary. Probably the best thing is to copy it from someone else's site, then put it on my server. I'll let you know if that works. The more the merrier.
i wish i could hear more, so i can shudder in terror and empathize more closely to your reality i'm am saddened (on top of the current tre fucked up situation), that your tour of the u.s. won't be happening. i do hope, that one day. you'll be able to visit here so that we (including the good peeps in nyc)can share.
hugs,
-aaron
thank you for your improvisation.. very evocative.. please.. stay safe.
