about

Music For The Lonely Vol.2 (2019-2021) is Fadi Tabbal’s sixth solo release and the second in his “Music For The Lonely” series. The compilation is a selection of commissioned works from live, film and dance performances over the last two years. Where Volume 1 was purely guitar-based, this album see Tabbal working almost exclusively with synthesizers and tape loops. The tracks are an exploration of controlled randomness in music composition, while still dealing with the recurrent theme of alienation present in all of his work.

"Equal parts contemplative and mood-altering, it’s atmosphere forging music. Sounds that are able to stop a moment and alter its DNA." - Daryl Worthington, Spool's Out column in The Quietus
