'Gang Gang' is a cycle of four sound poems combined with electro-acoustic sounds and an animation based on sound calligraphies.
Gang Gang derives its mood and rhythm from a Korean traditional circle dance, where people gather and go around in circles chanting "Gang-Gang-sul-le". The dance's large spectrum from very slow motions to very fast, altogether create a very playful, amusing and cheerful ambiance, adopted and transformed into an abstract perspective by the video. - New actors like birds, the ocean and their relation towards the moon play an additional role. Gang Gang can be considered as a minimalistic and surrealistic opera. The slowly moving visuals drawing simple white light on black background are based on sound calligraphies, which use very simple lines, points and focuses on the empty space in between.

Wittwulf Y Malik and the Korean soprano and vocalist Ge-Suk Yeo.
Both musicians have a classical background, but are also
influenced by a broad spectrum of music styles as well as by
visual art. 'White Room' is available as CD since summer 2005 (ART 012). This music was recorded in an exhibition hall – the 'White Room' - an artists' premises in Hamburg, Germany, where they both live. Wittwulf Y Malik’s expressive cello and Ge-Suk Yeo’s beautiful voice come together in an exciting, sometimes tender, dialogue. Some parts are adorned with excellent electro-acoustic sounds by Ge-Suk Yeo.The result breaks new ground in music of the 21st century!

DALBUKKI is the short version of the Korean words Dal (moon), Geobuk (terrapin) and Tokki
(rabbit). Moon, terrapin and rabbit can be found in lots of Korean fairy tales. One of this fairy
tales in the Pansori – the Korean traditional opera – is called 'Su-Gung Ga'*. The story is about
a crafty rabbit and a faithful terrapin. Ge-Suk Yeo's DALBUKKI deforms the story and transforms
it into modern spirit: Now it narrates from a terrapin which fells in love with the moon, a raging
search of the rabbit and somebody who feels followed by the moon. - The story, which is
already humorous and fantastic in its original version, now gets almost an absurd twist.
At DALBUKKI Ge-Suk Yeo tells us the story as a colourful carpet of sounds. The mere endless
seesaw between the actors gets a game of music and sounds. Tatters of the original story
appear here and there. In doing so Ge-Suk Yeo's voice is accompanied by electro acoustic
sound-samples – a fabulous journey for open ears. *The story of 'Su-Gung-Ga' Ge-Suk Yeo - electro-acoustic sounds, vocals Published 09|2005 on ART.CappuccinoNet.com

'Ilgob Sori Gori' means in Korean 'A Cycle with Seven Sound Poems'. In Korea there are
many words whose origin lies in the sound of the action they describe, hence translating the
heard sound into pronounceable sound. These words are an ideal source, to convert the feel
described by the word into music. Ge-Suk Yeo has written poems with these words and has
painted images for them. The images consist only of simple black and white lines and dots.
While listening 'colour' is supplied through the spoken word, electroacoustic music and live sounds. The poems are surreal fantasies – more concerned with the sound of the words than the content. Feelings and moods are addressed, while the boundaries between the moods are fluent. Even though the meaning of the words is not understood, their sound is yet a delightful experience. The aim is to discover many colours and senses, to visually and aurally stimulate the imagination. Ge-Suk Yeo's performance of images, words and music displays a cycle of seven poems with different content. The last poem ends like the first one, but with a different musical and visual expression. For the listener the words will reverberate in a wondrous way, long after the performance has ended. Ilgob Sori Gori - paint-brush and ink on Korean paper, original size: 21.0 x 29.7, digitalized and printed, animated with Flash, to view as DVD, 50:08min. Ge-Suk Yeo - soprano, voice, electronics

Five Sequences is a sound performance, playing with the 5 elements the
world exists of by an East Asian perspective: water, fire, earth, metal and wood. The sounds
of this music circulate around these five energies. Each of the five sequences is dedicated to one of these energies. Towards the end of each sequence this energy looses its influence, and the energy of the next sequence takes over. Everything is interconnected. The main concern is, how these things are connected with each other. Recurrence is not return or past, but future. Five Sequences - Solo for voice and electro-acoustic music. Conception and realization by Ge-Suk Yeo. Based on graphical notations, compositions and text by Ge-Suk Yeo. duration: ca. 50 min. Ge-Suk Yeo - electro-acoustic sounds, vocals
