Martina Cizek (1959–2019, Vienna)

She is not only a composer and musician in numerous ensembles of improvised and contemporary music, but is also active in the field of musical music with ethnic roots up to new folk music.
Additionally she also creates electroacoustic works and multimedia.

KNARZ (2006–09, stereo, 22min)
or 22 “miniature doors”
This composition consists of the creaking of doors in a building over 300 years old.
When Martina Cizek picks up this type of sound, she approaches it with the ear and sense of form of a saxophonist – as a musician of an instrument that works just as well in the border area. Her 22 “miniatures” are, so to speak, a transformation of the basically dry sound type into the opulently musical.
