A ramble of Arabic vocal pierces into the ceremony of absence that craves transcendence and crawls with the music as a hovering machine. 

"It scrams behind the surface 
Its severed song burns dimly entering the moon 
Into the core wired into the haze 
A rebirth vibrating into space 
It falls as a crippled shape down to earth 
Carving a line crumbling over satellites 
A luminescent sound breathing on our necks" 
Sarah Mashmoushi 

"Al Roujoou Ilal Qamar" (translated to English "Back to the Moon") is the debut album of Toni Geitani, a Lebanese filmmaker, sound designer, and music producer. It is a mix of experimental electronic music with Arabic vocals initiated by improvising with synthesizers, drum machines, vocals, and lyrics. 
Co-written with Lebanese writer and theater performer Sarah Mashmoushi, the album is a nostalgic transition from one space to another where the road of transference is tainted by loss. "Al Roujoou Ilal Qamar" deals with the anguish of intimate feelings such as love, loss, and the tragedy exerted from social and political interference.
