Other recent highlights include Mare Marginis, a piano concerto commissioned by Radio France, Euskadiko Orkestra and WDR for Alexandre Tharaud, where the dialogues and the dramatic display are set in two mirroring versions with differently sized orchestras, with the premieres conducted by Robert Trevino with the Euskadiko Orkestra and Sylvain Cambreling with the WDR Orchester ; Préludes, a series of 19 chamber music pieces intertwined with Chopin’s opus 28, written for the Ensemble Cairn and premiered in Spain, France, Switzerland, Germany and Hungary (as of January 2026), with a cd by bastille musique  released in September 2025, and Ziaboga for 29 musicians, commissioned by Ensemble Intercontemporain  and conducted by Matthias Pintscher at its premiere in 2019. Actual sound residue as well as the obsolescence of the tools as a reflector of the fossilization of the musical memories are the main ideas found in recent works such as Irarki commissioned by the Witten Musiktage, A Glitch at the Edge for the Grossman Ensemble in Chicago, Zilarbizi for saxophonist Don-Paul Kahl and Irarki 3 commissioned by the Köln Philharmonie for the Trio Catch.

Between 2001 and 2011, Ramon Lazkano worked on Igeltsoen Laborategia (Laboratory of Chalks), a large collection of chamber music pieces divided into various cycles, which echo sculptor Jorge Oteiza’s «experimental laboratory» and more particularly the concept of chalk as a matter of inscription, erosion and memory linked to childhood. The aesthetic purpose of the Laboratory led to Mugarri (2010), commissioned by the Spanish Association of Symphony Orchestras and conductor Ernest Martínez-Izquierdo. The pieces of the Laboratory were premiered in Austria, Germany, Poland, Mexico, France and Spain; the ensemble recherche in Frankfurt, Ensemble 2e2m in Paris, Ars Musica in Brussels and Monday Evening Concerts in Los Angeles programmed portrait concerts of it, and two monographical cd’s were recorded by ensemble recherche and Smash ensemble. His latter works pay new attention to architecture and duration as in Lurralde, written for the Quatuor Diotima, and adopt engaged texts by Rosa Luxemburg in Eine Ehrenpflicht and Edmond Jabès in Ceux à Qui – written for the Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart and getting its US premiere with Ensemble Talea in New York in 2016. In 2016, the Festival d’Automne à Paris offered a portrait in several concerts and premiered Ravel (Scènes).
