Hörbar: Carmen Kleykens Vidal / happyhappyface / Mathieu Sylvestre

Hörbar: Carmen Kleykens Vidal / happyhappyface / Mathieu Sylvestre happyhappyface merges keyboard improvisation and modular synthesis into explosive, unpredictable sonic textures. Drawing from IDM, techno and ambient, his sets move between fluid and frozen states, exploring emotional extremes. His latest release You Just Like blends metallic intensity with euphoric melodies: beauty born from unfamiliar collisions. Autodidact musician based in Berlin, Germany since 2010, Mathieu Sylvestre came from France to Noise Music after 10 years as vocalist and guitarist in rock music field. With guitars, cello, effect pedals and contact microphones, he first experimented on sounds and noises to work on origin of vibrations by straight analog means. After guitar noise experiments he developed sound pieces from field recordings and Moog analog synthesizers sound sources.

If tomorrow I Don't Come Back release concert-party in Hörbar Today I share with you If Tomorrow I Don't Come Back, my first solo EP - a diary written in electronics, shaped by the poetics that have moved through my body and thoughts over the past two years. At its core, it explores the vulnerability of admitting the fear of dying alone —or more than alone, in silence— without your loved ones knowing, far away on the other side of the world. Inspired by the poetry of Gabriela Mistral —the Chilean poet, the foreigner, the other, the prisoner, the walker— If Tomorrow I Don't Come Back is my personal cry for help in the face of the violence I endure, have endured, and know I will endure. In full light. In full gesture. In full love. And at the same time, it is a call to courage—a reminder that todo pasa (otra vez), and that we will be ready to burn it all down if we must.
