A musical accident provoked in 1975, the scratch soon became a genre as musical as a derby. Emblem of a whole part of the contemporary urban culture, the scratch music accesses today to the visibility. Laurent Burte, a graphic designer passionate about current music, gives him his first "images of nobility". He develops a graphical vocabulary whose signs show the basic manipulations of the turntables. It transcribes each gesture, each movement of the DJ on a staff. True graphic and typographic feat, illustrating the creativity and vivacity of the scratch, Scratch graphic is a base that was still lacking DJ's. This book facilitates the learning of movements and allows everyone to learn about music. A visual manifesto of the genre, Scratch graphique is dedicated to restoring the codes, rhythms and styles of the scratch, while plastically representing the pieces of Birdy Nam Nam (Crazy B, DJ Pone, DJ Need and Lil'Mike). Four unpublished tracks of these 2002 world champions are included on the included CD-ROM and an introductory interface with the musical characters described in the book. Graphic Scratch is both a methodology for learning to scratch, a beautiful book, a typographic research ... To read, admire and listen to. Enter the world of scratch.
