I call myselfLubzi. I am from Palestine. I live there too
I am a blend of cultures, a salad of sounds, colors & words. I like to create. I love learning. I aspire to inspire. I seek freedom, harmony, peace and justice. I like to be a bridge between hearts and minds, between people from different cultures and backgrounds.
Here you'll find my theatre sound designs, audio art pieces, some of my writings and sketches & all kinds of crazy mixes and audio experiments that I do.
اومن أن خلف الحبات الوادعات I believe that behind the gentle seeds تزهو جنات lies flowering Heavens اومن أن خلف الليل العاتي الأمواج I believe that behind the violent waves of the night A lantern rises اومن أن القلب الملقى في الأحزان I believe that the heart that is suffering in grief يلقى الحنان ... will find gentle love كلي إيمان I am full of faith اومن أن خلف الريح الهوجاء شفاه I believe that behind the reckless wind there are lips تتلو الصلاة that say a prayer اومن أن في صمت الكون المقفل I believe that in the silence of the closed universe من يصغي لي someone is listening to me أني إذ ترنو عيناي للسماء and when my eyes look at the sky , تصفو الأضواء the lights get clear تعلو الألحان ... and the music rises كلي إيمان I am full of faith
This post in copied entirely from Dj DocRemy - it was posted on Saturday, October 3, 2009 , the weekend that she featured my music :) !
I am super thankful to Dj DocRemy for her great show and for featuring my Audio Art track : October 22. Here is a link to Dj DocRemy's original post where you can check other very cool music and listen to October 22. here is the Original October 22 piece uncut :
Here is what Dj DocRemy said on her blog: "DjDrRemy - @Lubzi: Empathy for Blending on Discord-Resolve-and-Celebration by DjDocREMY
This #WeeklyMusicCelebration set is featuring our talented friend @Lubzi. I specifically name it: Empathy for Blending of Emotions: Discord, Resolve & Celebration. And the following is what @Lubzi explains about her music:
“The track name is “Oct22”. In fact it is about September 11. I called it October 22 because in those days (2002) Arabs living in the west couldn’t even discuss 9/11 without receiving at least accusing looks. So I was being ironic on the terrorizing of Arab immigrants in the name of fighting terrorism. In the beginning, things are moving in a steady pace somewhat peaceful and then all of sudden the world blows up and all the crazy events that happened afterward were too overwhelming and surreal: that is how 911 went and what I am expressing in the track.I did not have specific goal in mind: Only let my emotions take the helm as I had a load of hard to handle feelings about 9/11 and I needed to wear my heart over my sleeve.My hope is that people would feel some of my feelings….”
As for me, I picked this track of Lubzi’s (out of the 5 tracks she sent me) as somehow I resonate with the tune though I had no idea what the tune means – not until she tweeted me with the explanation.
On this set, I have added how I feel for her music as you may catch it at ~2:24 mins. then her track resumes at ~3.49 mins. I remix “Daft Punk” songs for two reasons: 1) It is entirely electronic sound – This is to emphasize how technological science of music program allows us to produce music. 2) It resonates how our humanity become stronger as a human race, faster in technology and outreach of communications which allows us to share and have more empathy as we try harder by the closing song which is a celebration to our spirit of Being - as One."
This song is an interesting song from the 80s, from Jordan. It was a very popular song during the mid/late eighties. Check out the headbands and women's hairdos.The music also reminds me of Cindy Lauper, early Madonna stuff, David Bowe, you know, pop music of the 80s, notice the base, the synth... so 80s . I loved this song , especially the part where she is walking with a bunch of her girlfriends friends wearing Bedouin clothes and 80s headbands and tights, so funny...
The band that sings this song is a Jordanian band called Mirage, was called Mirage, they stopped singing unfortunately. They were a talented couple, a man and a woman , who are married. They got into a really bad scandal though, After which I heard they immigrated to Canada and left Jordan. So, this poor couple, who are married, it seems they enjoyed taping themselves having sex and watching themselves later, uhumm, so one day a thief came and stole their house and included in the stuff that was stolen was their VCR with guess whic tape in it?? Yes, you guessed right. Next the tape was all over the black market and with every pimple-faced teenager in Jordan and many arab countries ... the poor couple were shamed and destroyed. They had to run away to the land of the west..They say they immigrated to Canada.. masakeen..
Now isnt this is story?
I wonder what they are doing now.. I wonder if they are alive .. I hope they are .. I hope they are alive and making some very cool music ..

Here are the lyrics translated by your truly for your pleasure.
تقول اهواك
You say I love you
انا مانساك
I will not forget you
ليه
Why
وتروح وما نرجع
and you leave and never come back?
تقول انتي القمر
you say you are (like) the moon
بليل السهر
In the long night
مثل السحر فلّيت
like magic you went away
وليلي طويل
and my night is long
اسأل نجوم الليل
I ask the stars of the night
ما تيجيب
They dont answer
صمت الحجر قاسي
silence of the stone is cruel
واقول اخطيت
I say I did wrong
يمكن أكون اخطيت
maybe i did wrong
ونسيت
or I forgot
وقليبي مش ناسي
but my heart is not forgetting
تقول اهواك انا مانساك
you say I love you I will never for get you
وتروح وما ترجع
and you leave and never come back
يركض بينا العمر
Time runs fast
شاب الشعر
my hair is getting grey
بتمنى طلتك
I wish for you show up
وابعث مرسال ورا مرسال
I send to you
time after time
الك
مادري تقول حسيت
I wonder if you feel me
تقولي كلام
you tell me words
احلى من الاحلام
that are sweeter than dreams
واجمل
and more beautiful
ويضيع معانيه
and then all the meanings are lost
تغيب سنين
you disappear for years!
وسنين تغيب وما تسأل
and years you disappear
and you never ask
والعشق لمّا زال
but in love , I still am
الفراق
being away from you
يا عمري طال
has gone for too long
my precious
وصعب الحال
My situation is hard
ما يهدا البال
my mind never eases
تقول اهواك
you say I love you
ولك سال They poured ولك سال and poured لغيرك ما يسل دمعي ولك سال for other than for you my tears never pour ولك سال they poured ولك سال
and poured وعليك القلب ما تدري Dont you know that because of you
ولك سل my heart withered ولك سال They poured ولك سال and poured
ولك سال and poured يا خايب You're such a looser يوم عن حالي just for once ask about how I'm doing ولك اسأل Ask ولك سل It withered ولك سال They poured تركتني وما تدري شصار بي

Our first computer programs... always have 'hello world' in them this is not my first blog.. or the second.. why do i have many blogs? because i am a multi-layered person. my needs to express my layers can contradict, so i sometimes need to be several people, several blogs, in order to really express myself. It is never enough though. I can't even express myself fully between me and myself. my mind cant keep up with my feelings, my talent cant keep up with my vision , my poetry cant keep up with my passion, my mind suppresses my dreams, my conditioning oppresses my talent. It's a big mess.. what can I say.. still i write..
