== Life and Works ==

Siewert has been living in Vienna since the age of 10. He studied guitar at the [[University of Music and Performing Arts Graz]]. As a guitarist, he started his public performances in 1995. In his early performances, he played with [[Herwig Gradischnig]], [[Freier Fall]], [[Franz Hautzinger]] and his own band ''Duckbilled Platypus''. With this band, he published two albums under the lable [[Extraplatte]]. Almost like other musicians in Vienna in that time ([[Boris Hauf]], [[Dieb13]], Hautzinger, [[Werner Dafeldecker]] or Hilga Hinteregger), he began to free himself from jazz idiom and developed an abstract sound by guitar. Soon, he became a member of ''Efzeg'' (with [[Burkherd Stangl]] and Hauf) and ''Komfort''. He invited Dafeldecker, Hinteregger, [[Wayne Horvitz]] and [[Tony Buck]] to the group ''Komfort''. In the group ''Trapist'', he played with [[Joe Williamson]] and [[Martin Brandlmayr]]. In ''My Kingdom for a lullably'', he played with [[Christof Kurzmann]], [[Axel Dörner]] and with the video artist of ''Efzeg'', [[Billy Roisz]]. He also performed as member of guitar quartet ''SSSD''. Other members of ''SSSD'' were Taku Sugimoto, Werner Dafeldecker and Burkhard Stangl. He worked also with [[Oskar Aichinger]], [[Christian Fennesz]], and in a duet with Dieb13 and ''Comforts of Madness'', and also with [[Wolfgang Mitterer]], [[Elliott Sharp]], [[Franz Koglmann]], [[Thomas Lehn]], [[Karlheinz Essl junior|Karlheinz Essl]], [[Briggan Krauss]], [[Ken Vandermark]], [[Michael Sarin]], [[Jamaaladeen Tacuma]], dem [[Kammerflimmer Kollektief]], Steve Heather, Yannis Kyriakides, [[Georg Gräwe]], [[Frank Gratkowski]], [[Michael Vatcher]] or [[Klangforum Wien]].
