Sgutsitn was born in the city of Flian, [[Verse:Tricin/Anøvr|Anøvr]] to a family of Adutsib descent as the second of three children. Her father was the physicist and composer Avnín Salis, who was professor of physics in the University of Flian.

Her mother's brother, Mugiv Ytxuðe, was a ''sewøðr'' player. | Sgutsitn was born in the city of Flian, [[Verse:Tricin/Anøvr|Anøvr]] to a family of Adutsib descent as the second of three children.

Sgutsitn’s compositions, many of them commissioned, number about 200 works in total. Sgutsitn often takes inspiration from folk music and world music, as well as older classical music. In particular, they're often influenced by Naquian music and other "temperament traditions" outside Etalocin. Sgutsitn specifies various equal temperaments described in her work, in addition to works that use just intonation as in traditional Etalocian music. | Sgutsitn’s compositions, many of them commissioned, number about 200 works in total.
