贝鲁特轰炸声中的音乐

 

LONDON (Reuters) - A Lebanese(黎巴嫩)musician has recorded a unique duet(二重奏)with the Israeli Air Force by recording on the balcony(阳台)of his Beirut(贝鲁特,黎巴嫩首都)apartment during a bombing raid.

In his sound art piece, trumpeter(小号手)Marzen Kerbaj intermingles(混合)his music with the sounds of bombardment(炮轰).

Explaining how he put together his unique composition, Kerbaj told BBC Radio: "I was maybe three kilometres (two miles) away. I could see them explode and hear them but somehow I was safe.

"It is freaking for the nerves(勇气、神经)but I quickly understood that if I play music while it is happening, it is much better than just hearing it happening. Somehow my brain shifts and I focus totally on the music."

Asked if he thought his composition was in questionable(受质疑的)taste, he said: "Throwing bombs on buses with kids escaping from their villages is in much more horrible taste."

He said the recording was a way of making people listen to what Beirut was facing. "It's not like on CNN. It is not a Hollywood movie, it is really happening."

Note:

一名黎巴嫩音乐家在自家阳台上看到贝鲁特正在受轰炸,突然萌生了在此时奏乐并把二者同时录下来的念头。他说这不同于CNN的新闻,也不是完全的好莱坞电影,这是正在发生的真实,他希望藉此让人们听到贝鲁特正面临着什么。
