Also including '1001 Activities' by members of the Scratch Orchestra, and musical compositions by David Ahern, Greg Bright, Michael Chant and Roger Frampton. "This lively book on the repertory the orchestra created is as much graphic and visual as it is verbal and about aural events and happenings. This is because scratch composers are often possessed of strong visual imaginations -after all, scratch music itself ...is meant to be perceived by the eye and indeed by all the senses ans not just by the ear (the sensual mix varies from one composition to another)." -- from back cover.
