Just a small excerpt of the approach:
The thematic leitmotif was to be the element "water", which was conceptually divided into the workingThe concept was divided into the thematic areas of "SENSE and Silence", "Infinity" and the mighty "Power of Water".For all created or composed parts, I attached great importance to my own sound development (e.g. through my own recordings mainly of water sounds, key - pitches - tone lengths - frequencies - LFO rates - resonance - attack - decay - filter settings), which were worked out with a great deal of commitment, partly discarded or changed again.and were partly discarded or reconstructed. The pieces reflect the claim of a "breathing, surreal minimalism". In some cases, different versions were created from one piece, with the final decision being made in favour of the thematically "most appropriate piece". Theapproach and realisation corresponds to a single theme, namely climate change in relation to the theme of water, and aims to represent thethe problem as well as to give hope. I chose the titles in connection with the respective musical topic by researchingvia scientific journals, Wikipedia as well as the Logia source QCover and videos:The rather surreal water album cover was made in late summer 2021 at a fountain in Cologne, with my camera Canon EOS M50 with the Canon Zoom55-250mm. I filmed the videos in slow motion in the dark with ice and water in a glass. The light source was a torch and a candle.candle and filmed with the Canon macro 28mm. I set great store by "surreality" in order to allow openness during the viewing and to pick up the mood of the music pieces. the mood of the music. The photos and videos were all kept in black and white and post-processed to better represent the surrealism.to be able to present the surrealism better.

Boiler Room TV April, 15th 2015

Cio Dorbandt is a part of German techno’s furniture. Born in Hannover, she can now be found in Cologne, while over the course of a lengthy career she has stamped her mark on cities across the country, and many other spots further afield. Made a resident at Munich’s infamous Ultraschall in 2001, she had also spent much of her youth pursuing her aspiration to become a dancer in ‘80s Berlin—a place she now frequents for gigs at the likes of Berghain, Tresor, and ://about blank​, following a wave of international recognition in the late ‘00s.

With years of experience behind the decks, studio work came a little later for Dorbandt. Releasing on Prologue, Semantica and more, her sound as Cio D'Or was recognized as central in a wave of minimal, hypnotic techno producers, encompassing characters like Mike Parker, Sleeparchive and Donato Dozzy (with whom she has often worked alongside). More recently, she has turned her attention to a broader spectrum of styles, bouncing between dub and ambient soundscapes, with the focus directed on sound design. Her most recent album, All In All, was some of her most experimental work yet, diving head first into a world of piano composition and cinematic music, as well as the regular dancefloor fodder. Not prepared to confine her talents to record though, she has also orchestrated a choreography project alongside Brigitta Muntendorf entitled PULSA:RE, combining the work of an ensemble with a DJ set—yet another string on her musical bow. D’Or steps up for this week’s podcast, with a dramatic hour long mix of experimental techno sounds that gives a sense of where she is at right now.

*"Con un profundo agradecimiento a mis colegas por su magnífica música para mis 777years:
Aleksi Perälä, Aner, Alva Noto, Claudio PRC, Donato Dozzy, Matteo Cortese, Perc&Fractal, Rrose, Ryuichi Sakamoto, SARS & AR, SØS Gunver Ryberg ,The Lotus Eaters". 

777 years o 16 min o la iteratividad hipnótica de olvidar el tiempo.
Cambios lentamente desplegados, capitulados, sin grandes rupturas. Cinética que no sintéticamente, la pieza “777años” de Cio D’Or se mueve de manera (in)consciente hacia la producción de un nuevo tiempo. Un tiempo intemporal, elástico, ucrónico que elude gramáticas musicales, inmiscuyéndose en las fronteras del techno, el ambient o el dub para escuchar su propia escucha.

Cio D’Or

Cio D’Or (Cio Dorbandt) es una figura clave del techno alemán. Nacida en Hannover, pasó parte
de su juventud en el Berlín de los 80s formándose y trabajando como bailarina. Residente en el club Ultraschall de Munich desde 2001, adquirió reconocimiento internacional a finales de los 2000s desde las cabinas del Berghain, el Tresor, o el ://about blank​.
Con años de experiencia como dj, el trabajo de estudio llegó un poco más tarde, aunque su sonido se ha convertido en ineludible para tratar de hilvanar la fragmentaria genealogía del minimal y deep techno, junto con artistas más habituales como Mike Parker o Donato Dozzy, con quienes colabora asiduamente. Ha publicado álbumes y EPs para sellos como Prologue, Telrae, Hypnus, Time to Express o el madrileño Semantica, con el que acaba de lanzar su último álbum, Fluidum III (Semantica 120).

Cio D´Or moves 
Her music arise from an idea, which she develops and threads through her own sounds:
Emotional, extravagant, charismatic, cinematic, sometimes poetic.
Her music strives towards “infinity” between origin and development. Here, timeless possibilities sounding out from the zeitgeist.
Her dj set´s and mixe´s filtering to track down deep and authentic musical developments amongst the mass of music and records without forgetting the gems of the past.
