The Landscapes of Yugoslav Minimalism through the Lens of the Ensemble for Different New Music (1977–1987)

Abstract

Since its foundation in 1977 under the auspices of the Student Cultural Centre (SKC) in Belgrade, The Ensemble for Different New Music (ADNM) has played a significant role in the development of minimalist music in Serbia and Yugoslavia. Its experimental approach to performance practice reveals unique traits in the model of minimalism pursued in Yugoslavia, as well as a series of causations and appropriations with American minimalism and experimentalism. Representing a new breed of musicians who worked across genres and media, the ensemble had two important roles: to develop radically different creative and performance approaches than those that had existed in Yugoslav music, to accelerate the inflow of ideas from American music, and to creatively affirm those musical currents that came from an international context. This article illustrates that the ADNM played one of the most essential roles in the development of Yugoslav minimalist identity.
