Program Note (written by Ramon Lazkano):
"In Jalkin, the sound that shapes the work is not constructed as a study or an elaboration of a circumscribed material, but as an exploration of the sediment or an examination of the decantation. A conventional and polysemic element, with symbolic extensions that mark our memory as musicians, is deposited unconsolidated; attacked by erosive agents, stark and pauperized, it shows itself only as an emotional trace of the unspeakable. In the same way that an unexpected perfume revives an involuntary memory or an unusual vision awakens the conscience of the forgotten, Jalkin is an attempt to capture the dregs of a sound that binds us to our memory and inscribes us in time."
