about

It is the youngest composer’s role –Germán Alonso, In Heaven Everything is Fine (2011)– to bring us closer to one of the recent poetics of greater international impact, in which the saxophone has gained an undeniable leading role: the game with the sound matter in its “rawest” state, subject to sharp distortions; the use of very aggressive dynamics, fragmented consideration of temporary continuity in saturated events – although, in the case of Alonso’s work they coexist with other momentary distensions...

They respond to a new conception of complexity, which in In Heaven Everything is Fine, on the one hand, embraces the suggestion of David Lynch’s unease aesthetics and, on the other hand, announces further fruits with the baritone saxophone and the electronics as protagonists, in a dark Goyesque reference to 'El Gran Cabrón' and 'Ecce Saturnus', both compositions dated 2012.
