Nova Atlantis transforms meditation into motion — a multimedia performance exploring sound, memory, and resonance.  Miako Klein and Jia Lim weave historical instruments together with live electronics and visual interventions. Expect shifting textures, fractured Baroque echoes, pulsing electronics, and immersive visuals unfolding into a sonic landscape that feels volatile, hypnotic, and beyond time. 

Miako Klein and Jia Lim came together as early music specialists with a shared interest in bridging historical performance practice with modern improvisation and live electronics. Their experimental approach led to a fruitful collaboration with sound engineer Sebastian Schottke at the ZKM – Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, resulting in their debut album »Nova Atlantis« (2026).
Miako Klein is a Berlin-based musician and improviser, classically trained on recorder and violin. Moving between early, contemporary and experimental music, her work explores disciplinary boundaries through improvisation, electronics and interdisciplinary projects. She has performed with Ensemble Modern, International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) and Il Pomo d’Oro, and appears internationally with her ensembles Jane in Ether and Warble.
Jia Lim has a multifaceted background; she first played trumpet and piano before discovering the harpsichord during her studies. As a prize-winning early music specialist, she performs internationally as a soloist and chamber musician. Her passion for experimentation has also led her to collaborate in a variety of contemporary music projects and theater productions, most recently with the Volksbühne in Berlin and Theater Basel.
