Bas LangereisFrank Zappa - 'Dance Me This' (2015)
#FrankZappa composed, recorded and produced this #Synclavier album in 1993. Featuring Tuvian throat singing samples and the last #Zappa guitar performance. Wonderful stuff. 'Wolf Harbor'! A posthumous masterwork.

Frank Zappa - 'Feeding The Monkies At Ma Maison' (2011)
Realized around 1986 by #FrankZappa on the #Synclavier, this is abstract, electronic, melodic, at times disturbing and at other times lovely #Zappa music. Excellent and intriguing stuff.
Frank Zappa - 'Congress Shall Make No Law...' (2010)
Full recording of #FrankZappa's testimony before the US Senate Committee against censorship on September 19, 1985. Basicly, this is a spoken word album, with a lot of belching edited into it and a few snippets of #Zappa playing the #Synclavier. Interesting, though not essential.

The interesting question, from that video, is how on Earth the Script tool on the #Synclavier 2 managed to get a #VT100 to display musical notes on a set of staves. Actual VT100s didn't have Sixel or ReGIS.
My educated guess is either a custom character set in ROM, or (more likely) that's actually a VT240 or a VT105/VT125 (or a VT100 hardware upgraded to the same).

The Synclavier that Greg Hawkes played at Live Aid in 1985 is apparently in a private collection as of a few months ago. I wonder whether xe borrowed it back.

Frank Zappa - 'Civilization Phaze III' (2cd) (1994)
The first poshumous released #FrankZappa album was conceived mainly on the #synclavier, but has live performances by #EnsembleModern and a return to the #LumpyGravy piano people. A #Zappa masterpiece.
Francois DionMy 15th track for #jamuary2025 for the 29th. This one is an ambient track, no percussions or drums whatsoever. But a bunch of textures and layers. One more #track and I'll have reached my goal of one every other day for the whole month of January. And whole complete tracks at that.
