FZ! yes, to celebrate the return of my lovely frank zappa avatar, made 100% from real panda skin, I decided to upload this video of Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention doing something rather crazy in 1974. This is a song called Approximate. Frank describes its unusual characteristics at the beginning, so i won't go into that. I will say, however, that it's very, very entertaining (esp. frank's mimicking in the singing part) and, regardless of its jazz/avant garde-craziness, very, very enjoyable music. I really, really dig the melody. I'd urge everyone and anyone to get this :) I just hope its bandwidth isn't exceeded by the time vpusha comes on. Enjoy! (~50 mb) oink! |

It has generated 50MB of d/l, and so far I wanted to listen to the radio, it's like this: download=no radio. But now I'm going to watch Family Guy so I'll start the download. I'm interested in Zappa since I know very little of him... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah.. i'll put that only in a special occasions. |
||||||||
|
|

i like it, wierdeness factor: 10, he was a man with a vision. Does humor belong in music? |

no, restart your download dude. |

Once I saw him perfofming with quite a large ensemble of musicians; there was a woman blowing a large tube (digeridoo?) into a tank filled with water (thus making water-fart sounds), and a guy in the back was reading a letter to some magazine written by a subscriber, who tried to get his scrotum pierced. They would played some chaotic passages, the guy read the letter, and so on... |

glad the both of you enjoy it :) obara, hope you have the full thing. it ends abruptly after the dancing section, when zappa hums the beginning of the melody of the next song (obviously "Cosmik Debris"). If anyone has the whole video of this televised concert, i'd love it.. but i know i'm asking in the wrong place. just on the off chance. i have the video for Inca Roads from this performance too, it's great, but just when frank starts soloing, the video changes to some crazy plasticine stop-animation, and.... augh. it's just kinda head-wrecking and annoying. i wanna see zappa and george duke soloing, not some acid head's bizarre plasticine movie... :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is there any chance you'll upload this second video???? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea i was going to bring it in on my iPod as a treat for people who liked the first video, but last night when I watched it I saw the gay plasticine movie (it's actually pretty neat, but i've expressed why i don't like it already) and it put me in a bad mood, so i didn't put it on the ipod. i could do it tomorrow i guess |

you have NO idea... :D:D:D "but the rest is..... every person for themselves.." "every person for themselves - huh huh huh - shit dawwwwg you is one crazy cracka, frank!" :D:D:D:D that flautist is mad. i wish that's what he said. i should find out his name.... he does nice miming accompanying the really fast & high pitched vocals in "montana"... which were originally sung by Cher and two other women, on the album. there's a bit of trivia for ya. |

I have never heard any frank zappa [hides] |

redrum (yyy), have you got the other Zappa video for your Asian friend today?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well download the movie. it's not a great starting point, in fact it's a pretty shit starting point, but it's an interesting and funny piece of music nevertheless. gvarek - i'm afraid not.... :( sorry |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Crap, this is unfortunate. Your impassive statement convinced to watch "Felicity" again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks for the link it was cool....the bird on the vibraphone was lightning quick! I haven't heard much Zappa before, something I must sort out, I hear his stuff is quite rude. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:D! yes Ruth Underwood is a legend. Some of his lyrics are quite profane yea, but tbh I don't listen to many of his songs. I find his songs pretty shit - the music suffers too.. His instrumental jazz rock and classical stuff.. basically the instrumental stuff.. is just mindblowing. pick up a copy of hot rats or the grand wazoo or waka/jawaka some time. deadly stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im listening to a documentary about him that I found on Zappa.com Didn't realise how experimental he was, there is some good stuff being played. |
||||||||

Question from my g/f (which I can't answer)....... Is FZ still alive? (she liked the video..... cheers Redrum) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah glad she enjoyed it :) No, unfortunately he died of prostate cancer on December 4th 1993. :( A dedicated smoker all his life... :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Damn.... :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah :/ it's a terrible pity.. Even though i don't enjoy much (if any) of his stuff made after the 70s. He got big into "Synclavier" composition in the 80s, culminating in a gigantic, and rather difficult, work in the early 90s, "Civilisation Phase III". A Synclavier is a now-obsolete computer-based composition tool and orchestra. I'd love to have him sat down with a copy of drukQs, or even *any* of the weirder music discussed on this forum. I imagine he would have loved it - it shares so many similarities with his music: polyrhythms, be-bop melodies (i always thought acid melodies are kinda scattish)... and also the obsession with "sculpting" sound which he held. |

I always wondered what, for example Beethoven, or Mozart would say if thay have heard Suarepusher or Autechre? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pure rubbish, i imagine. Mozart certainly. Music had strict conventions and rules back then and that sort of music doesn't comply with them. I'd say the lack of melody would piss them off the most -- or even, let's say in the case of squarepusher, the melody would do just the same. Remember, jazz was only born at the turn of the 20th century.. :o |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree, but not completly, remember also that they were pure musical geniuses, they had this special "third eye", maybe it would allow them also to foresee the future of music. IDM is extreme, but I'm sure they would enjoy some of early Oldfield's or Vangelis' works, or John Cage-alike music. This is pure nonsense speculation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Beethoven perhaps, since he was an innovator.. his music was considered ugly and horribly unbearable while he was alive. Mozart just stuck to the rules Haydn had passed onto him and used his genius to create a huge amount of work for such a small life-span. I doubt it for both of them though. There's too much of a gap. Far too much. When you grow up in that sort of world, with that sort of classical or romantic music being *ALL* you hear, apart from the occasional traditional song, that's the perception your brain has of what music is. The music we're talking about - whether it's Cage or Vangelis or Squarepusher or Philip Glass - is far, far too different, in my opinion, from the music of their time for it to be considered music. |
||||||||

Nice, we should make a seperete thread about this issue. Considering all fields of art activity. Example: Polish romantic poetry from XIX is stil very much alive in our awareness, and still used as a reference point (even though very modified) by modern poets. The question is of course: does it works "backwards"? I belive this is some mutation of alternative version of history entitled: what would happen if Hitler had won the war etc, etc... Playing with time.... |

thanks for the video, it was as entertaining as frank zappa. was. |

thanks for that... I'm one of the bigger Zappa fans around these parts, not that I've ever mentioned it or anything. |
