"Jean-Baptiste Lacou: trombonist. He began his musical studies at the Conservatory of Orleans where he obtained his DEM trombone in 2007 before joining the CNSMD Lyon in 2008. He received his Master's degree of musician performer in 2012. His strong taste for creation led him to specialize in contemporary music. He then worked with artists such as Pierre Boulez, Benny Sluchin and Peter Robinson. It is this same attraction for the new techniques that makes him cross the road of the Soundpainting in 2008 with the collective Orléanais "Paint Atonik". His meeting with Walter Thompson in 2009 led him to explore this mode of composition in real time in the most diverse forms, from trio to formations of more than 10 musicians, direction and trombone. He has also been invited since 2010 from the "Think Tank" (world meeting of Soudpainters) to contribute to the advancement of language.

At the same time, following his studies of classical music, he regularly collaborates with the French national orchestras (National Orchestra of Lyon, National Orchestra of Lorraine, Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, National Opera of Lyon, ...) Jazz as well as electronic music are also an integral part of his influences: he performs several times at the Orleans Jazz Festival and is currently working on a hybrid jazz-electro project aimed at making electronic music more lively on stage. All these experiences make Jean-Baptiste LACOU a complete and comfortable musician in the complex and volatile sound of SPANG! with which he has been working since 2012."
