NAITE Line-up: Jung-Jae Kim - saxophone  Andreas Voccia - modular synthDate & Time:

16.06.2023  8 PMTicket: 10 euros

Description:NAITE is a Berlin-based duo that blurs the boundaries between electronic and acoustic, consisting of Andreas Voccia, a German modular synth player, and Jung-Jae Kim, a South Korean saxophonist.

They are exploring new sonic territories and challenging conventional notions of music composition. The duo is described as an interactive improvisation between two distinct mediums – electronic and acoustic – that communicates between distinct physical phenomena, electrons and air/water molecules. Their music is a compound of varied alternative sounds, organic noises, and extended techniques that pushes the boundaries of sonic aesthetics. It features a multi-layered, fluctuating soundscape that is intensely complex and dynamic. The interaction between the electronic and acoustic elements creates a tapestry of varied noises, particles, and colors that overlap and weave together.





NAITE’s performance is an immersive and intellectually stimulating activity of real-time composing. It takes the listener on a journey through a world of profound soundscapes. The duo’s creative process create a unique musical language and innovative approach to music-making. They seek to go beyond traditional notions of sound and instead create something entirely new and exciting.

New Ritual   Contemporary Shaman Ritual  22.07.2019 8pm



Wir leben in einer Zeit von Umbrüchen und unvorhersehbaren Ereignissen, Gruppen formieren sich, extreme Meinungen leiten verunsicherte Menschen, Grenzen verhärten sich – wir sind „disconnected“. Es gibt einen Bedarf an Zeremonien und Veranstaltungen, die die Menschen zusammenführen können. Rituale, Heilungszeremonien und Energieaustausch scheinen gesellschaftlich eine immer größere Rolle einzunehmen. Musik, Tanz und Bewegung sind eine wichtige Möglichkeit, auf sehr unmittelbare Art und Weise Kontakt zwischen den Menschen herzustellen.

Youjin Sung und SaaWee (Sita Chay & Kim Jihye) führen mit den Instrumenten Violine, Percussion und Gayageum durch einen Abend der spirituellen Reinigung und Heilung. In sechs Teilen präsentieren sie verschiedene Themen, die den Geist öffnen und treiben lassen.



We live in a time of upheavals and unpredictable events, groups are formed, extreme opinions are led by insecure people, boundaries harden – we are disconnected. There is a need for ceremonies and events that can bring people together. Rituals, healing ceremonies and energy exchange seem to play an increasingly important role in society. Music, dance and movement are an important way to establish contact between people in a very direct way.

Youjin Sung and SaaWee (Sita Chay & Kim Jihye) lead with the instruments violin, percussion and gayageum through an evening of spiritual purification and healing. In six parts they present different themes that open the mind and let it drift.







Herzliche Einladung zu einem Abend mit koreanischer Musik & Literatur!

Zum Konzert der klassischen Gayagūm-Spielerin Yujin Seong und Lesung aus dem Buch Der Yalu fließt von Mirok Li am 17.05.2019 um 20 Uhr laden wir Sie herzlich ein:
Yujin Seong hat eine klassische Ausbildung an der Universität in der traditionellen koreanischen Musik absolviert – seit ihrem zwölften Lebensjahr spielt sie das Instrument Gayageūm. Sie spielte als Mitglied mehrerer Ensembles und mit dem Janacek Philharmonie Ostrava. Ebenso trat sie als Solistin in den Konzertprojekten Grida, Gayagūm Duo Projekt Sam, Gayagūm Sanjo nach Choi Ok-Sam in dem Programm Gespielt. Erklärt.

Seit 2014 lebt sie als Gayagūm-Spielerin und als Mitglied des Asian Art Ensemble in Berlin.

Der Roman Der Yalu fließt wurde 1946 von dem koreanischen Autor Mirok Li in Deutschland veröffentlicht – später auch in Übersetzung in Korea. Er gibt eine persönliche Perspektive auf die Geschichte eines jungen Mannes, der sich in der Zeit der japanischen Besetzung einer Unabhängigkeitsbewegung anschließt und daraufhin fliehen muss. Er überquert den Grenzfluss Yalu und sein Weg führt ihn nach Deutschland. Aus der Distanz schaut er zurück auf seine eigene Geschichte.
Im Dialog wechseln sich Lesung und Musik ab und eröffnen verschiedene Betrachtungsweisen auf die koreanische Kultur und Geschichte. Es wird gelesen von Mathias Jurtzig und Yujin Jung.

In a global era such as now, encountering people from another country, culture and language background has become more and more common in our lives. Despite the utopian hope of ours to be world citizens, it’s our humanly tendency to look at people whom we don’t know with stereotypes-lenses.

However, living in two culture sectors are becoming more and more common nowadays for the reasons of business and study. Those experiences of living in different cultures enable us to create more than one culture database in our heart and on our mind to understand this world.

This is an era of cultural travelers. Each one of us is an unique existence. It’s fairly normal that we have different opinions on things with people from the same culture and language backgrounds. Not to mention with people from miles away. In order to reach the utopia of mankind, listen to each other’s stories with heart and embrace the differences among us seem to be the only key. Are you ready to be a cultural traveler? Brace yourself with an open mind, we are about to take off.

Requirements to the guests:
You are invited to join an evening of music, art and food from different cultures. Please prepare a dish or drink that can represent your identity. We will have time to introduce you through the dish. But please still feel welcome to come if you cannot prepare it on time.

Welcome to the Cultural Travelers Event!
