Artefaktuak is a series of short pieces currently being composed, whose form evolves with each interpretation.   The instruments are diverted from their traditional use in order to explore both the interior and the surroundings of the sound.   The narrative is constructed from artifacts, fragments, results, and aspects of sound that are often forgotten or ignored, from which a form of rough lyricism emerges if one listens closely.

Artefaktuak was commissioned by the Zukan Trio with the support of the SOCAN Foundation.
