Ge Suk Yeo - mezzosoprano voice : [ link
]
Ge-Suk's fascination for Italian and German opera brought her
from Korea to Europe. There in Germany she studied opera music
and developed her voice to a lyric dramatic soprano. In 1999 she
started with contemporary and avant-garde music.
Since then Ge-Suk dived more and more into this kind of music
and worked with various musicians. The results out of this work
you can experience on this site. Ge-Suk also made hundreds of
sound sketches, a kind of 'graphical notation'. This drawings
help her to express ideas about sound and performance. A couple
of this drawings you can view on this website, too.
Ge-Suk is the initiator of ART.CappuccinoNet.com

Born in 1958 in Herford (Germany), Christoph Irmer got his diploma
for violin at the Highschool of Music Cologne - Department Wuppertal

scenes of Freejazz and Improv Music in Europe he became a member
of it soon. For instance in 1994 he was involved into the project
of great double bass player Peter Kowald "365 days in town".

series and an annual festival for improvised music, theatre and

Christoph Irmer is cooperating with many other musicians and
artists in Europe and the US today. He is a current member of
the "London Improvisers Orchestra" (LIO) and various

Conducting as soundpainting is a main interest in his musical
activities. Already in 1992 he was included in the Improvising
Orchestra of the "Documenta IX" at Kassel, organized
by Jon Rose with the project title "Burned Documents - The
Athletic Violin". Later on he joined the Butch Morris Workshop
Orchestra several times. Now conducting has become also a part
of his teaching activities.
Besides his musical ativities in several groups, about which
his CD releases are giving information, he is also cooperating
continuesly with artists from the dance field, as for instance
with members and ex-members of the "Dance Theatre Pina Bausch",
Wuppertal like Jean Sasportes, Geraldo Si and Chrystel Guillebeaud.
