    Zappa's music is subtle, complex, somehow a challenge; and at the same time funny and captivating. A real treasure.

    Thank you so much! There's definitely a lack of competent analysis of Frank's music here on UA-cam.

    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)!

    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".

    • @ChananHanspal

      Thanks Ryan, also thanks for the heads up on Dacron, I'll pronounce it properly next time.

    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.

    • @ChananHanspal
      @ChananHanspal  Рік тому +1

      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.

    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 ?

    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.

    • @SOALNightLive
      @SOALNightLive Рік тому

      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.
