Description The style of music, as evolved since the 1970s, is both old and new. Unique instruments and seamless structures give the music a sense of timeless ritual, while performances operate as a junction for musical, visual and social ideas. […] The instruments include tuned percussion stations on PVC pipes, chimes and Roto tom drums. However, for the 1990s the group has a fresh sound and a new look, including zitherum (long stringed instruments) tone-trees, handclapping, soprano sax, piano horns and vocals. From Scratch is a New Zealand cultural legend.
