A Live Audio Event in Five Movements
this is the original scratch symphony
from vec audio’s first best room
to uher Royal live
no poking around at that def wave
in more ram than herr zuse ever dreamed of
scratch is about
getting together and making a noise
no pointing and clicking
til your eyeballs plop into your cold empty cup
and there’s no more feeling in the digits
scratch is about
booting from a fun partition
so remain happy
and spin the scratch
which is about just doing it
— t.w.
no sampler no midi no dolby no dub no remix no baseball cap on backwards
