Ringtones by Mazen Kerbaj Trumpet Solo
Mazen Kerbaj: trumpet

In 2020 the Month of Contemporary Music in Berlin commissioned me to compose a ringtone that their audience could download. It took me one hour of work on it to get totally sucked by the idea, and to decide to work a whole series of ringtones and notifications for smart phones.
In this album you will find the final selection from a much larger ensemble; it was difficult to make this selection, but I wanted to keep it friendly and not to overwhelm the end user with possibilities.
