Album origins


David Ocker played a piece of Francesco Zappa's music for Frank Zappa because it was popular with some college music students. Because Francesco's music was not published and could only be found in the Mormon library, Frank decided to publish it. He then programmed some of these pieces into his new Synclavier synthesizer.[3]


Finding the composer's works


Frank found an entry for Francesco in the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians and then researched his sheet music in the library at UC Berkeley. According to The Real Frank Zappa Book, the two musicians are not related.


Album content


Francesco Zappa was the first full album on which Frank used the Synclavier,[4] but Synclavier pieces appear on "The Perfect Stranger" and on "Thing-Fish" as well.
