We watched the video about Scraching. It was an hour and a half of movie about Scratching as a genre of music and how it became big. Stephen mentioned that one of the first experiments on scratching is by John Cage which is interesting; to think of the scratching genre was experimented by an American Art Music composer.
The video gave a lot of insight to some important aspects of scratching. It is very interesting how many of these musicians started off as a kid playing around with some LPs and a turntable, often done without the knowledge of the mother.
An important aspect of scratching is looking for the right LP to scratch. The libraries of LPs seem like mountains and mountains of big huge piles of old LPs that would just blow your mind. I wonder how can one find great LP to scratch amongst the piles of LPs. I guess that's part of the skills required.
