Fadi Tabbal

Fadi Tabbal is a Beirut-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and sound artist known for crafting atmospheric, genre-blurring soundscapes that weave together ambient, post-rock, and experimental electronics. A quiet force in Lebanon’s alternative music scene, he’s celebrated for his work as a solo artist and collaborator, often pairing introspective melodies with field recordings and textural layers that evoke urban melancholy. His releases—like the meditative *Ad-Douar* or the haunting *They Kept Our Photographs*—feel like sonic postcards from Beirut, balancing stillness and unease with a painterly ear for detail.

Beyond solo projects, Tabbal co-runs Tunefork Studios, a hub for Lebanon’s experimental musicians, and has composed scores for films and theater. His *Music For The Lonely* series and recent albums like *La certitude de l’Aube* showcase his knack for turning raw emotion into immersive audio worlds, making him a go-to voice for listeners craving depth and atmosphere. Whether through brooding guitar loops or delicate synth motifs, Tabbal’s work feels like a conversation between solitude and the pulse of a city.
