Paco Cathcart // Charbel Haber et Fadi Tabbal

Paco Cathcart (born 1992), a Colombian-American musician and writer from Brooklyn, has released music as ‘The Cradle’ since 2013.

Touring in the United States and abroad, they have put out some twenty albums of great diversity, not counting numerous EPs and live cassettes, both solo and on various independent labels.

Almost entirely self-recorded, The Cradle’s catalogue reflects a porous, experimental approach, running through a multitude of influences. com/album/down-on-them-2 Charbel Haber (born in Lebanon in 1978) is a musician, performer, composer and visual artist.

He began in the late 1990s in post-war Lebanon with the post-punk/experimental group Scrambled Eggs, then multiplied his projects: Malayeen, Johnny Kafta Anti-Vegetarian Orchestra, The Bunny Tylers. He has also collaborated with film, visual arts, theatre and contemporary dance.

Fadi Tabbal is a musician, producer and sound engineer in Beirut. He founded the Tunefork studio in 2006, where most of the city’s alternative bands have recorded.

A member of The Incompetents, Scrambled Eggs, Under the Carpet and Snakeskin (with Julia Sabra), he also pursues a solo career, combining guitar, ambient, tape loops and synths.

Together, they have been a long-standing duo: The Bunny Tylers (drone, electronics, post-rock, noise), then the album Enfin La Nuit (Nahal Recordings, 2023), recorded at Tunefork, a sonic journey through Beirut after the 2020 port explosion.

Charbel Haber and Fadi Tabbal have been collaborating for many years within Beirut’s experimental music scene.
