Latest and going on works
Gem*dat (WIP) KLEYKENS X NEKO3
for 3 performers, live 3d environment, objects, lights, tracking technology, live electronics, and playback.
Gem*dat is a multimedia exploration of the poetic world of a mine, with virtual miners and canaries; for past lives and exploited lands, Morocco forced work camps for the exiled; for the rhythms and textures born in a song of echoes. Living with the ability to solidify pain.

If tomorrow I don't come back - EP
If Tomorrow I Don’t Come Back is 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.

Dichotomia tactus
Dichotomia Tactus is a collaborative project developed by multimedia composer and performer Carmen Kleykens Vidal and the contemporary pianist and researcher Carolina Santiago.
It consists of a series of compositions for piano and multimedia to resignify the pianist's gesture.
Through different setups and softwares as the Light Wall System (LiSiLoG), sensors and electronic sound, the artists create a concert programme based on deconstructing the musical gesture in the piano.
