Lebanon has been subjected to this noise for the most of 2024 and often in 2025. UAI stands for Unmanned Aerial Instrument. It is an Ableton Live device which lets users play the UAV as a musical instrument using pitch control, distortors, resonators and delays. This instrument is developed using Max4Live, and is free to download.

Mohamed Choucair is a multidisciplinary artist specialized in film and audio, well practiced as performer and music industry professional. Moe co-founded the Ballroom Blitz in Beirut, served as communication officer and public programmer at the Sursock Museum. He performs under diverse monikers, most notably his latest project: Bakisa.

Performances often step away from the realm of music and takes diverse shapes in the world of art, with the example of Air Pressure, a piece dubbed a diary of the Lebanese Skies, a project by Lawrence Abu Hamdan which has toured many museums and cultural festivals including the MoMA in New York, Pompidou in Paris, and was adapted to film which premiered in Fondazione Sandretto in Torino.

He is also a core team member of Ma3azef and Radio Alhara, curator of UK platform Keakie, producer of the artPost21 Podcast with Dr Omar Kholeif. A special highlight of his performances features a protest piece dubbed “You are not very famous in Palestine” which premiered in the Venice Biennale of Architecture 2021. He now tours the UAI, a musical instrument made from Israeli drones, as well as researches and records sonic Israeli activities – his most recent study is featured in 2025’s Venice Biennale.
