Label: Hegoa

Carcascara "II"を出版した英Hegoaの注目物件!!1990年代初頭にサン・セバスティアンに設立された即興/ジャズと現代音楽の学校"Jazzle"の創設者メンバーであり、バスク地方では著名な音楽家であるというAlberto Lizarralde。古くから活動をしていながらも、なんとこれが1st音源(!!)という完全に埋もれていた発掘作家で、内容は80年代半ば~90年代に掛けて録音された初出素材集。良い意味で時代性の無いミニマル・アプローチが心地良く、サンプリングやMIDIシーケンスによるストレートな手法で幻想的な音風景を描いています。同国のスソ・サイス好きにも激推し。300枚限定。







“Timeless minimalistic approach to composition braced by repetition and playfulness. Alberto’s music reflects calm, focus and intimacy. Ethereal and atmospheric, his pieces operate within the digital as well as the analogue realm in equal measures. Sampling, Midi sequencing and field recordings are the instrumentation used in these 15 songs recorded on a four track reel to reel tape. Highest possible recommendation for fans of Suso Saiz, Jon Hassel, Eno or Harold Budd”
“Haizetxe” which stands for wind house, is the first ever record consisting of unreleased material recorded between mid 80’s and 90’s by musician Alberto Lizarralde in Zaldibia, Basque Country.
One of the founders of the first school of Improvisational jazz and contemporary music (Jazzle) established in San Sebastián in the early 1990s,Alberto is a well-known figure among Basque musicians but not so
much amongst the general public. In his professional curriculum we find the direction of the Plaza Festival, the Zirrara record company, his work as a producer, editor (editions 3e argitalpenak), the direction of the
audiovisual installation JA Artzeren Unibertsoa, the arrangements and composition for the Iparraguirre 7 project, etc...And even so, he has
managed to stay away from the spotlight.
In all this time he was composing and recording music, but the right circumstances never arose for its release.Thus, it has remained stored in a
drawer all these years. Finally the music of Alberto Lizarralde sees the light on Hegoa label in a limited run of 300 LPs.
