Artefact
So this is my new favourite thing although I must admit to not quite understanding it. It is called "Notes on musical compositions" and is an old volume of music scores with pasted in press cuttings referring to particular composers and their works.
Now, I think it's smashing but it's a little bit of a mystery. We don't know who created or why - was it simply a hobby, were they researching something, were they doing it for a project? Why choose the music book as the scrap book? How long did it take? Where did they get their clippings from. So many questions!
This is only a fraction of it too!
