Notes:

On 07/16/2014 four Palestinian children were playing together at a beach when they were brutally attacked, twice, by Israeli troops. Three of the four appear to have been gunned down while running away from the initial attack. Today’s improvisation was inspired by this incident. I pulled off my mouthpiece and explored tight, choked off air flow blown directly into the neck of my horn.
