Cio D´Or  is deeply immersed in her creative process: developing sound, preparing performances, and composing piano pieces. Her projects are cohesive entities - with tracks serving as crafted fragments of the dramaturgy she shapes in her studio and she bridging the worlds of techno, art, and composition.
 
Her music balances architectural precision with fluid, cinematic immersion. Every element is placed with intention, shaped by an acute awareness of structure and space, and refined over decades of aural sensitivity. Drawing from jazz, classical music, other music currents and through contemporary dance, her sound is also informed by timeless influences like Bartók, Stravinsky, and Bach.
 
A dedicated DJ since the late 1990s, her sets are built with a strong sense of dramaturgy - selecting and sequencing tracks to reveal subtle, hidden connections. She began producing out of necessity, starting with an MPC 2000 and a microphone on the shores of the Sinai Desert. Her expansive output includes two films, three albums, 14 EPs, musical theatre productions, collaborations and several renowned scholarships.

Silence is my source. Zeitgeist: the noise.
I filter that out.
It’s about the essence. What remains?
