Middle East PhoNographic Mornings #7 - Robert Kroos: Lebanese Morningscapes

In this episode, Lebanese Morningscapes by Robert Kroos: "In March 2019 I travelled with 2 friends around Lebanon for 8 days. Making field recordings is very much a solitary craft and being on holiday I did not want to ask my friends to wait and be silent whenever a situation occured that inspired me to make a recording. The better solution was to set the alarm and wake up early mornings to go out with my recording kit.

This piece is a collage of 5 differend morning takes:

Part 1 - Tripoli Al-Tell square- 41°02′15.39″N 28°59′47.17″E
At 6 in the morning the Al-Tel square in Tripoli is already bustling with coffee- and food vendors and a multitude of (Mercedes!) taxis.

Part 2 - Sea Side Road from Beirut to Byblos 34.0149° N, 35.6405° E
All cities along the coastline of Lebanon are connected with one highway that never seems to calm down. 24 hours of traffic a day.

Part 3 - Baatara Waterfall - 34°10.406′N 35°52.222′E
The powerfull rush of the majestic Baatara Waterfall

Part 4 - Baalbek Hotel Jammal - 34°0′22.81″N 36°12′26.36″E
The simple room in Hotel Jammal looking out over the Roman Baalbek temple complex is being heated by a noisy, primitive diesel oil stove.

Part 5 - The Cedars of God - 34°14′42″N 36°02′53″E
Higher up in the mountains near The Cedars of God the snow melts in the morning sun. Birds as well as a jet plane break the silence."

Robert Kroos a musician and sound designer working on film, animation and experimental music.


Stéphane Marin presents a weekly series of fifteen soundscapes recorded in the mornings at various locations throughout the Middle East. Entitled Middle East PhoNographic Mornings this series forms part of a wider project, Each Morning of the World, which invites sound artists, composers and recordists globally to share their own specific point of listening, either through a raw field recording or original composition.

In the second portion of the show, Ikea Customer Service explores what Oslo has meant to them since moving to the capital mid-pandemic.

In their own words: "This is a very simple solipsistic mix in the end; a mix of field recordings from long pram walks, bus rides and lullabies, some songs I’ve written to stay sane, and some songs of others that have kept us afloat. And lots of our daughter being a massive beacon of light."

Artwork by Fiona Filipidis.


Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.
