Scrat is an eclectic project seeking to embody in one way or another, the complete scope of so called musique concrete and perhaps beyond. Truly a noise project yet melodic in its’ dissonance. Scrat incorporates field recordings, sampling, frequency manipulation, noise guitar and metal to name but a few directions the project moves in. Often riddled with dark themes and angry explosions of expressive shadow, there is still much light in this darkness, at the end of the tunnel… shinning in this void. - Rorac Johnson
My description -
I’m not really sure what to say. I enjoy making music and noise with my friend, Rorac. I’m a fairly minimal person with people I hang out with. Rorac and I live hours away from each other, so we send tracks back and forth and are pretty much in constant dialogue. We have been in several bands together and been experimenting and doing our own things, together and separately for many years. That doesn’t mean it’s good. It is to me, but on a much grander level than may hit some folks. Scrat is about my relationship with Rorac as a friend. - Scott Ballard
