Description
Alexander Bonus' sixth album (his fourth in 2006), continues his exploration into dark ambient sound-worlds. In Palimpsest, Bonus compares, contrasts, and mixes the chant cultures of both Europe and Tuva, digitally superimposing—like a sonic jigsaw—their independent forms to find the universalities within these ancient genres. The album is divided into three, fluid tracks, which simulates the reading of a multi-layered, ancient book. It is a musical text written upon an older text: A Palimpsest. Palimpsest is Bonus' most spontaneous, thematic album to date—produced over two days—and is intended as an homage to musical traditions both Eastern and Western, both past and present.
