DJ HEAR (aka Sary Sehnaoui) at Yukunkun

HEAR made movement his motto. The movement of sound. The notes of his music are moving, they travel through time and space. A bit like him. HEAR was born in Lebanon, studied in Canada, lives in Berlin and speaks French. He followed classes in movie production, geology, modern dancing and space travel. He shot movies – several remarkable short films – before becoming a DJ and an electronic music composer.

His passion for music made him sneak into clubs at a young age, quickly messing with turntables & cdjs, launching parties (Made in Montreal), becomes resident DJ (at the Basement in Beirut, then at the Salon Daomé in Montreal), play music in festivals (such as Mutek or Piknik Electronic & Igloofest), and eventually compose his own music.

This passion is expressed in places and situations that tell of the man’s curiosity: marathons of sound where music is played non-stop over several days; music played by minus 30 degrees Celsius or on rooftops or boats in New York; recording sessions in a former Stasi building or in clubs in Berlin or in San Francisco.

Already 12 years as a DJ, an album out on Archipel and several singles, a vinyl with Move D, and loads of upcoming projects. HEAR is moving fast, taking sound along with him.
