“A palimpsest is a manuscript page from a scroll or book from which the text has been scraped or washed off and which can be used again.” (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

I am a double bass player, though I was curious to make experimental music playing the electric bass, my early years instrument. So I asked some friends – Paulo Chagas, Silvia Corda and Mauro Sambo to overdub some tracks I sent them via web and vice-versa to send me some ideas to record over. The result is this album of ten duets.

I heartily thank my fellows for the great music they gave me, Giampaolo Gerra for the artwork and Pan y Rosas for their support.
