Angizia was founded by Engelke (Michael Haas) in 1994, above all to have the possibility to convert positive energy in a kind of artistic and egocentric expression. Engelke (for the present) – secluded in his chamber - worked on natural poetry, which he had to express with restricted musical means at this moment. The musical medium this time hadn’t been in the vein of Angizia’s baroque rhythms (the band used in the “Kemenaten”-era, 1997) or the really unconventional melody bows of the russian trilogy (“Das Tagebuch der Hanna Anikin”, “Das Schachbrett des Trommelbuben Zacharias”, “39 Jahre für den Leierkastenmann”), but mainly gleamed in its graceful simplicity. In march 1995 Engelke developed the unofficial “Nordheim”-demo tape together with Szinonem (Cedric Müller), Emmerich and Henning, which Angizia never made accessible to the masses. Well, the “Nordheim” demo-tape Engelke understood as personal and important creation of ambitious musicians, whose ideas Angizia later integrated in conceptions such as “Kissarna” (Demo 1995), “Heidebilder” (split album with Amestigon) or “Das Tagebuch der Hanna Anikin” (CD 1997). In this time Engelke and Szinonem developed an intense musical friendship, which had been base and expression of the later released albums “Die Kemenaten scharlachroter Lichter” (CD 1997) and “Das Tagebuch der Hanna Anikin” (CD 1997). Szinonem in those days was 16 years old and visited the conservatory of Vienna. He absolved countless of piano concerts at home and abroad and gleamed as classical genius in the Austrian television. At Szinonem’s precious grand piano Engelke and Szinonem compiled and developed the Angizia-foundations and thus the loan of an instrument, which will play an important role in Angizia for an indefinite period of time.
