French-Lebanese musician, composer and guitarist, Paul Toubia’s music consists of mainly ambient guitar harmonies going all the way to distorted soundscapes, drones, and sometimes blends with field recordings and elements of Arabic music. Toubia is also the co-founder of Lebanese post-rock outfit Ilvy, with whom he released their debut album “China Girl” in October 2020.

Lebanese musician, producer, and sound engineer Fadi Tabbal’s work consists of guitar pieces ranging from stripped acoustics to ambient and electronic-inspired treatments, as well as processed tape loops. He has released 4 solo albums since 2013, with his 5th Subject to Potential Errors and Distortions due for release on October 23rd via Beacon Sound and Ruptured.

Tabbal is a full-time member of several Lebanese bands: psychedelic pop band The Incompetents, punk band Scrambled Eggs, electronic duo Stress/Distress, and was previously part of pop group Safar, indie rock outfit Interbellum, and singer-songwriter Youmna Saba's project. His newest project The Bunny Tylers (with Charbel Haber) veers between drone, electronics, post-rock and noise rock. He has also collaborated with some of the most renowned Lebanese and international acts in today’s contemporary alternative and oriental music scenes.

In addition to handling engineering and production tasks at Tunefork Studios which he founded in 2006, Tabbal is a specialist in sound design and conception. He has worked on a variety of projects, including sound and music installations for museums, theatre, and film. He has been the technical director of Irtijal, the region’s leading experimental music festival, since 2011, and has been teaching sound at the Académie Libanaise Des Beaux-Arts since 2012.

Postcards is a shoegaze/grunge trio from Beirut, Lebanon consisting of lyricist, singer and guitarist Julia Sabra, drummer Pascal Semerdjian, and guitarist/bassist Marwan Tohme. The trio has been working together for over a decade and are Lebanon’s longest-lasting alternative musical group since they formed in 2012.

With four concept albums under their belt, Postcards has produced a diverse catalog ranging from their signature dream pop and shoegaze to post-punk and noise. Their highly-anticipated fifth album, “Ripe” will be out on March 28th, 2025, in a co-release by Lebanese label Ruptured Records and Berlin-based t3 records. A record born out of anger, grief, and uncertainty, “Ripe” showcases the band at their most ferocious, most vulnerable and most assured. As the world around them crumbles, the trio transmute their rage into something transcendental.

In over a decade of making music, Postcards has worked through periods of social strife and political violence in Lebanon, which Sabra has approached through themes of alienation, melancholy, and resistance. Working closely with their longtime collaborator Lebanese producer and musician Fadi Tabbal, they managed to reflect life in Beirut for their post-war generation, through textured soundscapes and raw intensity in their music, helmed by Sabra’s poignant words and graceful voice.

Postcards are firmly rooted in their native Lebanon, as all three members of the band are active in Beirut’s vibrant music scene, and were active members of various local projects throughout the years, most recently post-folk outfit Sanam and ambient/industrial duo Snakeskin.

Luke is a composer and pianist from Melbourne, Australia. His inaugural solo album, ‘Sun, Cloud’, was nominated for the 2013 Australian Music Prize. His latest solo album, ‘All of Us’, drops March 11 2022.

hi! this is alice & her piano. 

here you'll find music inspired by compassion - and its absence.


///

compassion hurts. when you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. and you cannot turn away.
your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. you must either learn to carry the universe or be crushed by it. you must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors. -andrew boyd
