Hi there. I'm Scratch - also known as MX Skroch, and for a time, Xavier Thomas Skroch. One of the few things I've genuinely enjoyed for decades is creating music. I've been doing that since 1986. Success has been elusive, but I never really bothered to chase it. For me, the real satisfaction has always been in the process: writing, performing, recording, producing, improvising. Those pursuits have led to great memories and lasting friendships.
This site features all of the music and art contained in my first 125+ album releases. Over 1750 tracks can be streamed right now, just keep your critical eye aimed towards the absurd and it will all make sense. Thanks for stopping by - we hope the strange music brings you reassurance
