==Early life and education==
Sgutsitn was born in the city of Cøøve in Fyxám to an [[Verse:Tricin/Anøvr|Anøvrian]] immigrant family of Adutsib descent as the second of three children. Her father was the [[w:Mathematical analysis|analyst]] Avnín Salis, who was chair of mathematics in the University of Flian who composed in his spare time. Her mother, Fyvað Sgutsitn (adapted from Adutsib ''xwəbad skwucił''), was a classical ''ŋams'' player and music teacher. Her mother's brother, Mugiv Ytxuðe, was a ''sewøðr'' player.

A precocious tomboy, Rewhd was taught mathematics and ''davr'' by her parents.  She started auditing music and math classes before she was 5. She was to a large extent self-taught in the boarding school math and music curriculum, seeking out math and music books to read in libraries, music to listen to, and instruments to learn to play. She was allowed to skip boarding school and to enroll in Olltal University in math at age 10 by taking an entrance exam. She was an exceptionally gifted student and graduated in mathematics and music with honors at age 16 (fT 2252).
 
Around graduation, Sgutsitn began to study with composers such as Cosga Siva. <!--At the encouragement of Siva, in fT 2255 she participated in the regional composition competition ''Farca Cøøve'', with ''[some cantata or mini-opera]'' and won first prize.-->


In fT 2256 Sgutsitn returned as a doctoral student in mathematics to the Olltal University, where she specialized in algebraic geometry. Under the supervision of Esŋóo rið Mnaŋ, Sgutsitn was awarded a doctorate for her dissertation ''On the Cohomology of Algebraic Varieties'' (fT 2260).

==Later life==
==Current life and work==
Shortly after receiving her doctorate, Sgutsitn abandoned research mathematics. She sustained herself by teaching or tutoring math and music, and occasionally by selling her compositions. She started corresponding with a number of composers and musicians to exchange ideas about music. These discussions, as well as explorations of non-Etalocian musical traditions, would inspire her to further develop the music theory at that time. These ideas were distilled into a treatise that was published in fT 2270.
Þwhgad is currently a freelance composer. His main interest is imagining music in fictional cultures. Among the general public he is fairly well-known for his film and video game scores. Þwhgad's most iconic works include his (the sci-fi musical drama).


In fT 2280, an academic took notice of Sgutsitn's work and invited her to serve in the University of Vahgo as a professor of music. She accepted the offer and would continue to teach there for 20 years. Among her students were several notable "modern era" Fyxámian composers and popular musicians.
Þwhgad runs a blog on music and composition.
 
In fT 2300, Sgutsitn retired from her academic post and secluded herself, intending to focus solely on composition. She lived in a house in Sŋooron until she died of a stroke in fT 2316.
 
==Compositions==
[Outsourcing.]
 
Sgutsitn’s compositions, many of them commissioned, number about 200 works in total. Sgutsitn often takes inspiration from folk music as well as older classical music.
 
Sgutsitn's works often use regular temperaments (and equal temperaments as a special case), in addition to works that use just intonation as in traditional Etalocian music.
