I want to thank you for your excellent work! I’m a composer, and I have to admit that your videos have helped me better understand some aspects of Zappa. For example, thanks to you I used-for the first time-the procedure called “isomelism.” I hope you will make videos on songs like _Jazz From Hell_ (1986) or _Piano_ (1993)!
Thanks for the correction, I think the word Dacron is possibly used more in the USA than in the UK. To be honest, I had never heard the word used in the UK. I will endeavour to pronounce it correctly next time.
I really enjoyed your video a lot! I also found it insightful in a way that I have not ever heard someone explain Frank's music. Thank you for creating it.
im a self taught musician with no formal music education but ive taken the time to watch so many music theory videos i think im starting to understand what people are saying...at least to a certain extent
Love your channel, I'd been waiting for someone to do some in-depth analysis of Zappa's music as you're doing. Thank you so much !!! Could you ever consider doing an analysis of a single piece such as revised music for guitar and low budget orchestra ?
Thank you so much for doing this. I have been waiting for analysis like this for years. Frank's creativity and knowledge of music is unparalleled. I am going to study this video a lot, I want to incorporate this kind of composition technique to my own music. I look forward to exploring your channel more. I would also like to point out that Dacron is a trade-name for a polyester fiber manufactured by DuPont, and is pronounced "dack ron".
that's an interesting analysis. It makes a lot of his music start to seem like an attempt to break free from music, as it were :) This is less crazy than it seems if you consider that it was written in the era of Cage and Reich, to say nothing of the Usual Suspects.
Many thanks Curtis. Yes, you're not the first person to point that out, I think the word is used more in the USA than here in the UK, I'll endeavour to pronounce correctly in future.
Idiot question: Isn't this what Approximate is all about? The way I understood it, Zappa created a interval+pitch template and the players choose which notes to use.
"Dacron is a registered trade name for a polyester fiber made by DuPont. Dacron is especially known for its durability, consistency, and quality." and tacky 70s clothing.

Yes, and it was clothing that was worn by rather square people, therein lies the humor in the title. I don't think Frank would be caught dead or alive in Dacron. Your channel is brilliant, by the way. Enjoy it.
Zappa's music is subtle, complex, somehow a challenge; and at the same time funny and captivating. A real treasure.
Excellent, impressive analysis. Thank you for sharing your talent and insight
Thank you so much! There's definitely a lack of competent analysis of Frank's music here on UA-cam.
I’ve been listening to Frank for 40 years. You have opened up for me a whole new way to see the structure in his music. Much obliged!
Yes yes yes more of these please mate. I hope you're well buddy.
This video is extraordinary, really excellent. It made me so happy. Amazing job.

New insights in the music of FZ. Thx 🙏
Fascinating and captivating analysis thanks Chanan, I'm not sure I've seen anyone do this as yet with Frank's music in such detail....
Thank you!
I'm pretty sure Dweezil has a good grasp of most of it.😉
Its "DAcron," emphasis on the first syllable. Dacron is a trade name for a woven form of PETE, the plastic used to make disposable water bottles.

Thanks Ryan, also thanks for the heads up on Dacron, I'll pronounce it properly next time.
Well done, thank you.
Very nice from you !!! Thx and best Regards from f''ing Germany
