In 2020 the Month of Contemporary Music in Berlin commissioned Mazen Kerbaj to compose a ringtone for their audience to download and use. True to his maximalist approach, Kerbaj delivered instead a whole series of ringtones and notifications for smart phones, all performed on his trumpet with no added effects. The album is thus an addition to Kerbaj's trumpet solo albums.
