Cio D’Or is an artist, composer and DJ who seamlessly bridges the worlds of techno, art and composition. Her artistic drive and creative process begins with an idea that emerges from silence and aims to convey something inexpressible and indescribable.
Her work testifies to the timeless possibilities of music and movement.
Cio D’Or’s sound is characterised by attention to detail, weaving together ethereal textures, subtle rhythmic complexity and an undeniable emotional depth, creating a balance between architectural precision and fluid, cinematic immersion. Each element is placed with intention and shaped by a keen awareness of structure and space.
Her releases on Semantica, Prologue and Kynant are timeless expressions of her minimalist and cinematic approach to electronic music.
Known for her dramaturgically structured DJ sets and cinematic productions, she has performed at Berghain, Dekmantel, Bassiani, De School and festivals worldwide.
She has collaborated with a range of artists – among them Donato Dozzy and Brigitta Muntendorf –and received multiple scholarships from Musikfonds, GEMA, and the Ministry of Culture and Science NRW. Since 2015, she has created the visual worlds accompanying her music – shooting and editing her
videos, photographing the covers – to echo their poetic core.
Cio D’Or’s sound blends architectural precision with immersive atmospheres, informed by influences from Eno to Vainiø, from Bach to Stravinsky, and rooted in decades of sonic exploration. Her music continues to evolve. Her lifelong study of music does, too.
