Tectonics 2026 TECTONICS: Saint Abdullah

Saint Abdullah is the moniker of Iranian-Canadian brothers Mohammad and Mehdi Mehrabani (b. Tehran, 1986, 1988), currently based between Tehran and London. Their practice is rooted in sonic storytelling that seamlessly blends geo-politics, religion, and social behaviour. The brothers have developed a sophisticated studio practice exploring improvisation, electronics, plunderphonics, and sampling. Their music has been described as at once Western and Eastern, while belonging to no one and everyone—“an articulation of a perspective, emotion, and dialogue using sound as its foundation”, in their own words. Over the past eight years, Saint Abdullah has collaborated with acclaimed artists including Jason Nazary, Eomac, Abbas Zahedi and Armand Hammer (ELUCID, Billy Woods).
