Drawing from improvisation, sound design, and the language of space — ANEZ works at the threshold where sound becomes meaning.
Work
2026 — ongoing
A musical experiment to create living pieces in real time, using only one human voice as the source of sound. The two artists engage in a musical and reactive engineering process, finding the thin line where sound becomes meaning.

2023 — Forspiel Festival, Berlin
Recorded live at Forspiel Festival in Berlin — ANEZ's first fully improvised concert. Sound-driven giant TV lamps from the 1960s, controlled entirely by the music being made. A turning point toward the work they make now.

The Place
A 30sqm clay house on a wine-hill near Belezna, south-west Hungary — three kilometres from the village, toward the Croatian border. A place designed not for comfort but for focus.
LAK is home base, rehearsal space, residency, and the site of a growing micro-festival. A stage is being built. A sound installation is in development. The first guests have already arrived.
Belezna, Zala County, Hungary

"Wonderfully futuristic — tech, but with a soul, electronic but with melody. Kind of like Björk in a jet plane with Kraftwerk and Aphex Twin."Simon Sixsmith — 2419 Label
"The flagships of the intellectual electronic music scene."Recorder Magazine
