>I suspect Frank looped exactly as much as he wanted to. If he'd wanted >to >loop more, he had the equipment to do it. Actually, I’d say that he didn’t. zappa was so cutting edge that several synths and other instruments were created specifically for his use (as with other musicians now and from his time). I’m sure that he would have found a way to loop more if he was really focused on looping, but the great thing about that man was that he was never running out of ideas. Few musicians have a catalog like zappa’s (who released multiple albums each year at times) and few musicians were embracing technology and techniques the way zappa did…although maybe I should say few musicians getting noticed by the public were embracing the technology as I’m sure that there is someone with their finger on the reply button ready to prove me wrong 10 times over… I agree…zappa would certainly have showed us a thing or three about creative ways to use this gear…by the way, does anyone know specifically if zappa ever really experimented with looping like on civilization phase III (which I still haven’t heard, but am dying to hear) or some other of his more obscure works? Although, I’m not really sure if zappa would have enjoyed looping…the first statement made on lumpy gravy is that round or circular things are boring… E va n|s sa B __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
