CORALITO BY SUNG TIEU

See this content in the original post

The works of Tieu and Naujoks are interwoven in a complex and contradictory way. It is not their similarity, but the tension between their different artistic practices that characterizes their live performance - the contradiction in the widely separated coordinates of their expression and also their geographic location.

The latest works of the young artist Sung Tieu are influenced by her visit to the mountainous region of Bạch Mã in her home country of Vietnam. Her prose and experiments on the traditional Vietnamese stringed instrument Đàn Bầu underlie the wordless universes created by the Hamburg musician and artist Christian Naujoks. His melancholic soundscapes are based on short, concise melodies and the use of relays and echo effects on the guitar.

In response to Naujoks' recent compositions on his album "Wave," Tieu filmed a short video of snapshots of a tropical beach on her trip, which serves as a background for their performance together.
