Programme Note
'Chalk Laboratory' (Igeltsoen Laborategia) is a vast chamber music cycle, one of Lazkano’s major creative achievements, which experiments with small forms by ‘waving light and moveable musical textures’, immediately evident from the opening piece of the cycle, Wintersonnenwende-1 – a glittering, timeless ritual-like dance.
Lazkano's 'Laboratory' is inspired by the Basque sculptor Jorge Oteiza's own 'Chalk Laboratory',in which he experimented with sculpture of very small sizes made of fragile and lightweight materials, such as electric wires, tinplate or chalk.
