	About//
Milena Georgieva is a composer and transdisciplinary artist.
Born in Sofia, Bulgaria, currently based in Vienna.
Her approach is strongly influenced by her background in landscape design - space, evolvement and experience are at the core of her working process. She explores sound and it’s evolution as an organic and dramaturgical space. She investigates space as a construct – physical, virtual, public and intimate. Through music and sound she sees the possibility to grow unexpected relationships and enter impossible places - utopias.


In her compositions and live performances she seeks a fluid, unbound sense of music and listening. Interlacing diverse genres and musical practices - from experimental, electroacoustic, contemporary classical to choir and folklore - she activates complex and multidimensional bodies of sound.

Modular and digital sound design, live-processing, experimental and extended instrumental, vocal and recording techniques are currently her primary sonic tools. 
She does sound design and composes for performance, dance and film as well.

She performs also under the moniker Yuzu.

Shows at Tanzquartier Vienna, Kunsthaus Zürich, Angewandte Interdisciplinary Lab, Technical Museum Vienna, Kunsthalle Vienna, Donaufestival, Wiener Festwochen, ImpulsTanz, Elevate Festival, Unsafe + Sounds, Goethe-Institute Bulgaria, Sofia City Art Gallery, among others. 
Composition grants by the City of Vienna (2022-24), State of Austria (2023, Startstipendium 2024). Residencies at ImpulsTanz - Turbo (2023), Kulturtankstelle Linz (2017). Nomination for BAZA contemporary art prize (2019).


Collaborations with Magdalena Forster, Pavel Naydenov and N Choir, Tarek Atoui, Jeremy Wade, Ingrid Cogne, Leon Höllhumer, Claire Tolan, Lazar Lyutakov, Sara Zlanabitnig, Christine Gnigler, Maja Osojnik, Jake Mann, Johanna Figl, TE-R [Louise Linsenbolz + Thomas Wagensommerer], Tony Heywood + Alison Condie.


Milena is also:
+ former member of VELAK – a non-profit organisation and platform for artists who work in fields of experimental music and sound/art.

+ a former member of CZIRP CZIRP - a collective supporting, producing and communicating experimental music, sound and digital art through nomadic cultural and ephemeral events.
+ co-founder of CLINIC, a former platform and event format in Vienna, which challenged the hierarchical structures found within club culture and the experimental electronic music scene.
+ organizer of the event series SEBISM, a DIY home for contemporary experimental music performances, underground zeal and radical zest.
