ABOUT
BIO
Valentin Steiner a.k.a vaZdaZ is a multimedia & sound artist currently based in Waldviertel and Vienna, Austria. He is a core member of the art and sub-culture association Subetasch & Co-Founder of Subetasch Records.
The main focus of his work is audio production, sound design and live performance. His immediate environment guided him toward a non-commercial sound influenced by underground scenes, encouraging him to explore unconventional genres and experimental approaches. Over past years, his musical work spans two directions: playful electronic grooves and captivating ambient soundscapes – both driven by an interest in discovering the sweet spot between technical limitation and the aesthetic of error.
Beyond audio, he also works on the intersection of digital and physical art through live visuals and interactive installations, often exploring randomness within organic noise structures. A key component is controlling imagery through various live inputs, establishing an evolving dialogue between audience, performer and visualization.
Inbetween he dedicates his time to the simple joys of life: digging records in local stores, good food, dearest friends and being outdoors in nature to find a balance.
