Scratch Orchestra Thursday, March 18, 2010
Experimental music ensemble the Scratch Orchestra first got groovy in 1969 with the publication of their "draft constitution," a founding document of open minds and curious hearts that produced ground-breaking sounds and innovative art. Los Angeles musicians re-create the collective's work with a performance of scores from founder Cornelius Cardew's 1972 book Scratch Music, plus new works based on instructions in the constitution. After the music: a screening of Luke Fowler's 1996 Pilgrimage From Scattered Points, a profile of Cardew, and a panel discussion on radicalism and experimental art, with members of such collectives as Ultra Red and the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians. Fiesta Hall, 1200 North Vista St., W. Hlywd.; Sat., March 20, 4-10 p.m.; $15. (323) 960-5723, sassas.org. (Originally published in L.A. Weekly, March 19, 2010.)
