Frank wrote the Joe's Garage album, which is somewhat of a musical biography, after finding out he had incurable prostate cancer.
This tune is a little repetitive, but after working on our kitchen floor all day outside of an early afternoon Dim Sum session, I find it pretty relaxing. Maybe you'll enjoy it.
Following the last imaginary guitar solo, is a short interview with FZ
Off the wall? I always thought he made perfect sense! Seriously, anytime by brain wasn't feeling well, I'd toss on some FZ and all would be well. Still do. ;-)

I just played Inca Roads video, but first watched Dwezil try explain the frazing-as he tried to play; everything is played as a 7 note frazing- weird huh. Not really, everything that is played even 4/4 time is still frazed in intervals.Some composers play their own set of notes to separate themselves from other composers.
ReplyDeleteFZ is a composer unto himself!
They Say, Absolutely.
ReplyDeleteA master of any instrument plays the notes he hears in his mind.
There are some musical definitions that are truisms on a certain level, such as "all good music comes from scales", but lasting music comes from the soul and touches us in indescribable ways.
Let the others try to define it, label it, and pack it in boxes. I don't need to.
I love the interview. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a productive day.
ReplyDeletedidn't know that FZ composed classical music-thank you for the interview video...

My pleasure Nickie. All most people know about FZ, if that, is "Don't Eat The Yellow Snow", though I figure you know bit more.
ReplyDeleteOpus, it was way too productive. :)
ReplyDeleteCarol-CS, FZ did a lot of stuff you wouldn't care for I'm sure, but he was a musical genius, and created quite a bit of "Strictly Non-Commercial" music :)
