Acezantez

Acezantez is an experimental music group founded by Croatian composer and multi-instrumentalist Dubravko Detoni, active in Zagreb during the 1970s. The ensemble occupied a distinctive position within the Yugoslav avant-garde, pursuing an approach to sound that resisted both Western academic orthodoxy and the more accessible currents of contemporary composition.

Their self-titled album, originally released in 1977, is built from rich textural constructions involving percussive squeals, scrapes, and rattles; pitchless and parched woodwind timbres; and dislocated keyboard sounds assembled into dense, unclassifiable pieces.
