Scratch Orchestra
The Scratch Orchestra (founded in 1969 , dissolved in London in 1974 ) was an experimental British musical group . It was founded by Cornelius Cardew , Michael Parsons and Howard Skempton . The Scratch Orchestra emerged from Cardew's experimental music class at Morley College , London. Various experimental musicians came together. Both classical musicians , jazz - improvisation and rock musicians and visual artists, especially from the areas Mixed Media and Performance , worked together. They gave their last concert together in 1974. Their ideas were taken up many times. From 1974 the group developed from scratch. The group From Scratch was born.
