About the artists
Julia:
Julia Sabra is a Lebanese musician and songwriter based in Beirut. She released her debut solo album “Natural History Museum,” an intimate collection of songs written between 2020 and 2024, on Beirut’s Ruptured Records on November 1, 2024.
Sabra co-founded dream pop outfit Postcards in 2013 and is the band’s lead singer, lyricist, co-composer, guitarist and synth player. She is also one half of Snakeskin, the acclaimed crunchy-dream-pop project alongside long-time collaborator producer/musician Fadi Tabbal.
Sabra is the co-owner and manager of Tunefork Studios, a sound collective that has helped shape the experimental, alternative and contemporary scene in Beirut since 2006, where she also works as composer and VO artist since 2017.
Anthony:
Anthony Sahyoun is a Lebanese composer, musician, and programmer. He co-founded the Lebanese band Kinematik in 2015 with whom he produced 3 records, and the Lebanese sextet SANAM in 2021. He released his sophomore solo record “Proof by Infinite Descent” in November 2021 with Ruptured and Beacon Sound (LB/OR).
Anthony has performed with Hans Joachim Irmler from the German legendary Krautrock band FAUST, Fadi Tabbal, Radwan Moumneh, Sary Moussa, Charbel Haber, Youmna Saba, Sharif Sehnaoui, Mazen Kerbaj and Bana Haffar. He also works extensively with Jad Atoui and with Sandy Chamoun.
He’s been a partner at Tunefork Studios since 2018, renowned Lebanese studio and sound-space where he operates as a producer, sound designer and mixing engineer (notable productions: Sandy Chamoun, SANAM, Kid Fourteen, Shatr Collective). He also scores music for film such as “Dancing on the Edge of a Volcano” (Cyril Aris, 2023), “Une Rose Ouverte” (Ghassan Salhab 2019) and has composed sound for various installations such as Yuri Pattison’s “DreamScape” (2023), Larissa Sansour’s “As If No Misfortune Has Occurred in the Night” (2021) and directed with Aia Atoui “Shabah Al Rih” (2020).
Fadi:
Fadi Tabbal is a Lebanese musician, producer, and sound engineer whose work consists of minimalist pieces ranging from ambient and electronic to drone and contemporary classical. He released his 6th solo album “I recognize you from my sketches” on January 31, 2025, a deeply personal album that delves into identity, memory, and personal growth. Across ten instrumental tracks, Tabbal weaves a minimalist soundscape shaped by solitude, urban struggles, and the solace he finds through music.
Tabbal has released six solo albums between 2013 and 2025. Although his early work was composed solely on guitar, he slowly moved towards synths, electronics, voice samples and tape loops, expanding his sound palette and further exploring the concept of “controlled randomness” in his compositions.
He has two albums (2022, 2024) with singer-songwriter Julia Sabra as Snakeskin, a visionary electronic dream pop duo, shapeshifting above ambient and industrial undercurrents. He also co-wrote the acclaimed “Marjaa: Battle of the Hotels” (2023) with Mayssa Jallad.
Across his career, Tabbal was a member of several Lebanese bands: psychedelic rock band The Incompetents, punk band Scrambled Eggs, electronic duo Stress/Distress, pop group Safar, indie rock band Interbellum, singer-songwriter Youmna Saba’s project, and cold-wave post-punk outfit The Bunny Tylers with his frequent collaborator Charbel Haber.
