Frank Zappa - Peefeeyatko (2 of 6)

[jmgmarcus808]

zappa was so in tune with what the future of music would eventually become , only now its even easier to accomplish what he was doing with even better sounds and overall sonic quality , he passed away from us way too soon ,a huge loss , and a void never too be filled

[tarantism]

its amazing that this machine that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars 20 years ago, and was such a pain in the ass is virtually free today with midi and VST's

[JJStuffEngineering]

i wish i could have spent a day with him,only listening to it .....

[ryanbrownnew]

the trouble is you might have the idealised tone - but the idealised emotion can't really be stored or quantified. To be human it has to be flawed.

[Guitareben]

@ryanbrownnew emotion in music is subjective though :D

[ritter89]

i still have several racks full of those crazy floppy discs. hated using those things.

[mrmugsone]

his oppinions are so fukin right... hes always right ....

[Shukes2]

We'd probably have a new Zappa album daily if he had access to today's technology

[PamperedTongue]

at what year is this?

[vonzeke]

Good God, I wish I could hear what he'd be doing with today's mega-multi-sample libraries & laptops that have as much computing power as that whole Synclavier system.

[OBSysteme]

holy shit look at them floppy discs. :D :D :D

[shookstylez]

crazy subtle delay effect in this video. Is Frank messing with us up there?

[charliemileo1]

Frank was a pure genius .To be so serious about song structure and composition and turn around and be pure comedy when it comes to the lyrics.Awsome .Frank you are missed by the music world !! and as we all know the mainstream music world of today surely would have been his main source of his great comical lyrics

you are missed Frank!!!!!

[Flunder]

been a fan since Zoot Allures. Frank I miss you you old sorcerer.RIP.

[redhavok666]

guys at mixing desk looks like joe satriani lol

[shuzzbutts]

Franck was extremely prolific imagine how much more prolific he would have been with todays technology

[erflaz]

Zappa Genio anche se secondo me si era un po fissato con l'uso del Fayrlight,l'ha spremuto fino a fonderlo,cmq sia sempre un grande!

[JRuined]

Hearing what he's working on from 4:12 makes me so pissed off he's not making music still. There was always a bit of darkness to his orchestral work, but it really comes out here where he is just showing a bit of his process.

Feels like gravity is taking a personal offense to some poor individual.

Awesome.

[tyleryesta1]

he's the reason we have quality synth keyboards these days

[squanto2]

so sad Frank is dead.

so many years later.

I think one of the great tragedies of Zappas early demise, is that the gear Zappa had to work with cost him millions, and you can now obtain even better gear for cheaper than a paypacket. Dididesign gear and, say, eastwest orchestra sample pack for a few hundred dollars. Zappa would have been able to make amazing music, and not had to mortgage his fortune on it. He might have even rethought his saying "Mother dont let your son grow up to be a composer". He would have hated modern pop music tho.

[PrinceZappa]

@duckmonsterX too right! he would have loved all the sequencing/sampling software around today, and he would probably have used Sibelius as well.

[zootzrats]

Music Is The Best!!!

[tyleryesta1]

hands down... best musician of the twentieth century.

[ProgDogMan]

if zappa were alive today he would love using the software called REASON, great sampling... frank zappa was so ahead of his time, progressing at every musical opportunity

[Bass5el]

This is the first footage I've seen of Zappa playing keyboards!

[DimensionsofChange]

And now you can do anything you could do on the synclavier on a macbook

[elpudino]

I love the accidental magnetic tape echo. VCR is still the funnest!!

[bf1973]

The master at work.

[gotthisname]

Frank is rocking that thing like a video game!

[squanck]

This video is extremely important to learn something more on the "classic" side of Frank Zappa the composer.

[jasmincar]

dude you can play the flute nicely

[nothingblue1]

i would have loved to bum a cigarette off

Frank

[wtret]

there's no "classic" zappa. his music is a unity, his "rock" is just as complex and elaborate as his classical music. what he says concerns music in general not only orchestral or avant-garde.i reject classical fetishism, classic can well be as shitty as pop

[muttilo]

Try the Classical by the Fall
