Liza Kuzyakova is a composer and artist born in Moscow and based in The Netherlands. Her sound practice weaves together electroacoustic composition, spatial sound, and experimental live performance, exploring perceptual tensions in listening practices: the relationship between materiality of physical objects, acoustic spaces, and the imaginative dimensions of sound. With influences from experimental theatre and a background in visual arts, Liza examines dynamic sonic environments, blending acoustical instrumentation with synthesised sound. Her musical output links dramatic spatial unfolding, rich in gestural and textural plasticity, with the fragile and subtler sounds.
Liza is an active member of the experimental music scene in The Hague. Her solo electroacoustic live performance project Sáof is rooted in drone, noise, and power electronics, and she is part of an industrial/noise project Tselem Enosh.
Her works and collaborative projects span a variety of contexts, including acousmatic concerts, contemporary choreography and theatre, short films, performances, and exhibitions, and have been part of the Gaudeamus Festival, Rewire Festival, Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT), Instrument Inventors (iii), Grey Space in the Middle, Buda BXL, WEST Den Haag, and Homo Novus Festival.
