Performance group From Scratch present a powerful anti-nuclear protest. The group uses large custom-built instruments made from banks of PVC piping and extruded metal to create a variety of strictly non-electric sounds.

“Enewetak, Fangataufa, Bikini, Rongelap, Mururoa.”
“Since 1946 the USA and France have detonated over 200 nuclear devices on these Pacific atolls, displacing indigenous people from their home lands and deliberately exposing others to fallout.”
“One thermonuclear explosion detonated on Bikini by the USA in 1954 was 1,000 times more powerful than the Hiroshima blast. Children on nearby Rongelap played in the fallout as if it were snow”.
