As part of our German Career Day, we are excited to host one of the best known German electro-pop artists,
DYKO!

This is a great opportunity for German language students of all ages!

DYKO - aka John Barrie Dyke from Melbourne, Australia - is one of the best known German Electro-Pop artists. Devoted to Synthi-Pop und New Wave, he is inspired by artists such as Kraftwerk, David Bowie and Depeche Mode. In his work, he focuses on the development of the sound from that era.

Dyko, who musically and visually reflects his fascination with German everyday-life culture in his very own style of Electro-Pop, sees himself as a cultural ambassador. On stage, he combines his lyrics with graphically abstract and realistic projections. Some of his background visuals are taken from the language course video "Kontakte" ("Contacts") from the 1970's, which make his concerts seem partly like a musical German course. The connection of language and visual scenes from "Kontakte" brings about elementary and repetitive text structures, which are easy to understand, especially for learners at the beginners' level.

Admission is complimentary.

If you own your own German dictionary, please bring it with you as it'll be part of the performance.
