Palimpsestus

Overview

Palimpsestus --- 2020-03-13

The word "palimpsest" derives from the Latin palimpsestus, which derives from the Ancient Greek παλίμψηστος (palímpsēstos, "again scraped"), a compound word that literally means "scraped clean and ready to be used again". In textual studies, a palimpsest is a manuscript page, either from a scroll or a book, from which the text has been scraped or washed off so that the page can be reused for another document This album is an artistic reflection about reusing sound material. Context is the keyword, tracing the original idea to the finished work.
