He was doing things with dynamics and reverb (among many other things) that were immensely perfected. Huge messing with all sorts of patterns of overlapping meters done with love because it all sounds motivated rather than mathematical.
means "negative light" - research it this music is all done on the
Synclavier synthesizer... this album was released posthumously; he composed while he was dying ...
John that was his masterwork, the centerpiece of that album and actually you were right on the money about the 10 years. He worked on it on and off for 10 years. The album was finished by him but was released a year or so after his passing. It actually won a grammy for the packaging and if you get a chance to get one in yr hands, i highly recommend it. It m ay take some time to digest, just keep in mind he was a contemporary (genre) kind of guy. Thats what he loved from day one. Kudos for you for playing it and reacting to it!
I was thinkning exactly that. "We can observe a human being BEFORE and AFTER listening to N-lite."
LOL.
How many peices of music can do THAT?
Frank spent many of the last years of his life (about 10 years to be exact) working on THIS ONE SONG. He kept working on it as the new hardware or software would arrive for his Sync. And in interviews from those years, he would talk about it quite often.
This song became an OBSESSION for Frank.
And it's nice to hear it appreciated.
Frank pioneered electronic music - one of the first to use the synclavier. He did so because he wanted to hear his music played exactly as it was written, and humans generally can't do it.
Sampled instrument sounds reproduced by the Synclavier digital synthesizer. Parts of the album feature a real chamber orchestra called the Ensemble Modern.
This album is the pinnacle of Zappa's music. This is music to the 21st century.
Matt Groening says THIS is his favorite Zappa peice.
I love this piece. I have listened to it many times this year. The orchestration is very perfected. The human-like sounds make me laugh.
A couple a-quarts a-beer would fix it so the intonation would not offend your ear.
This isn't entirely 'electronic' exactly. It is kind of... but the instruments are sampled patches from (amongst others) the Ensemble Modern musicians and then midi-re-orchestrated. So, it's not just programmed electronica. As usual Frank would mix it all up !
Actually---this is a mixture of REAL orchesral elements such as wind instruments and strings combined with Synclavier digital samples. And it is VERY hard to distinguish which is which. But there ARE real instruments here also.
I love this album! Music is organized sound - Frank should be in the hall of fame for classical music too =) If Frank did something he did go all in!
I'm glad you kids are finally discovering frank
Unsettling indeed. Frank was probably worried about the state of our planet. He made a lot of pieces with the same vibe.
Zappa é essencialmente um compositor do século 20, que também fez música mais acessível para poder ganhar dinheiro e, embora a tenha salpicado com bastante humor, pouca gente percebeu a piada. Quem percebeu tem dificuldade em ouvir a musica popular actual. Eu não consigo.
Has anyone suggested Yo mama by Frank Zappa
The guitar solo is bonkers
@@TONE11111 coowell 👍
Great stuff.
Frank liked it because it could play music that humans can't...
Wonderful stuff. Now try Amnerika and/or The Girl in the Magnesium Dress...
Sounds like a score from a sci-fi movie.
This is what ELP would sound like in hell.
n-lite... means negative light....however... I always felt there was a second meaning...n-lite=enlight
🤣💯
He was garbage
@chris boulet - About N-Lite: "It was put together out of two unrelated sequences. There's a group of notes in front of this one sequence that just happens to sound like "In the Navy", from that The Village People song. You don't realise it until it's gone by, and then- that's "In The Navy"! So that's the "N" and the "Lite" part is this sequence that was basically a bunch of very fast and short synthesizer pockets that had the computer title, "Thousand Points of Light" (Frank Zappa, quoted in: SLAVEN, Neil, "Electric Don Quixote: The Story Of Frank Zappa", Omnibus Press, 1995, page 325.)
Shit ugly zappa looked like a bum at the end 🤣 🤣 🤣
A community scampering around within a giant grand piano and all the anomalous noises that might create?
Usually Zappa fans hates this album .....
Imagine Frank Alive , with all the classical contemporary groups arround the world ,that were created short after his death ( he found Ensable Intercontemporain at the end of his life ).
After dealing with classical orquestra unions and bad will to play his music , he would have hundreds of higly trained young musician, with no prejudices used to play and listen jazz rock besides classical and willing to play his music, . ....With Digital modern sampling computers , multimedia internet . 3D Holograms etc .
Zappa was an insult to other composers
What does that mean to you?
