about

Meanwhile, the Basque Ramon Lazkano inscribed Jalkin (2012), without stridency, in a personal poetic defined by the implementation of a conforming will which, as it is the case –there is already a Jalkin 2–, requires the extension of the compositional impulse in a proliferation of works intimately linked, in what is probably his most recognized series, Igeltsoen Laborategia (Laboratory of Chalks); In Jalkin, the poetic brand of Lazkano, student of Grisey in Paris, is highly recognizable: the reduction of the sound to its minimum conditions of possibility, the extremely smooth consideration of auditory development, and the enlivening of a rarefied tonal environment by means of spare and precise gestures, from multiphonics to slap, from the elusive intervallic figurations to a trill, or the precise gradation of air emission.
