Palimpsesto is the result of real-time compositions (in other words improvisations); a palimpsest of interwoven sonorities and aural structurings, based on two classes of sounds, electronic, and percussive (pitched/unpitched).
Is music but a palimpsest in the air? A moment to moment of writing and erasing different temporal layers? A coexistence of what we have accumulated, and how we relate, and respond to the instruments and to each other, in the course of a musical encounter? If I was to describe this CD with two words, I would prefer to call it a coloured palimpsest.

klage, the first release of AURAL TERRAINS, contains compositions based on a relatively wide range of timbral, rhythmic and melodic material, aiming to achieve a confluence between its structuring forces; acoustic instruments and electronic sounds. It is preferable to be listened to not as separate tracks but as an aural manifold of different distances/proximities, and contours; at times creating a sense of hovering, suspending time, while at others a more directional trajectory.
