Since its inception in 2017, Ataneres has cultivated a distinguished presence through a myriad of crossover ventures spanning from the minimalist to the avant-garde. Furthermore, Ataneres passionately advocates for the development of Belgian contemporary music, a commitment recognized with the esteemed Fuga Trophy in 2019.
