Quando comecei a participar do Blog Valvulados, minha idéia inicial era só postar Frank Zappa. Sempre fui um grande fã, e durante a minha jornada juvenil, encontrei outros grandes fãs, e falar sobre Zappa sempre foi uma alegria. Em uma época de acesso restrito aos discos de vinil, encontrar um disco do Frank Zappa era um momento de glória. Tenho uns discos de vinil, 10, e mais de 80 fitas cassete (tudo TDK Chrome). Era difícil comprar, pois os discos eram importados e caríssimos, bem como encontrar, pois este cara tinha mais bootlegs (na época se chamava disco pirata), mais álbuns fora de catálogo que oficiais. Zappa era um mito para mim. e ouví-lo me fazia sentir diferenciado, me sentia melhor... Bom, consegui todos os álbuns hoje (acho) e volta e meia, deparo-me com algo inusitado. e vou postá-los todos aqui no Valvulado.
Gostaria de começar com este trabalho realizado por
Miles Mellough do blog "
Birds With Broken Wings" . Miles trabalhou em uma grande pesquisa, unindo a música de FZ por temática. Um trabalho único, que merece um Re-post aqui no Valvulado. Uma compilação de 12 volumes.... Segue na íntegra, os primeiros três volumes:
Project/Objects, Nos.#1-3
Miles Mellough
As loosely quoted from Neil Slaven's, 'Electric Don Quixote,' "the project/object was the means by which Frank Zappa incorporated every aspect of his work into an undefined grand design." This means that every sound, every song, every record, every performance, and even the little incidentals were all integrated into a unified whole, held together by Zappa's 'conceptual continuity.' In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Zappa explained it further stating, "It's all one album. All the material is organically related. If I collected each of the master tapes, I could take a razor blade and cut them all apart. Then I could put them back together in a different order and it would still make one coherent piece of music that you could listen to."
Because of his notions surrounding conceptual continuity and the project/object concept, Zappa's oeuvre has proven to be one of the most fun and fascinating to piece together in any variety of configurations while still having it make sense to the enlightened listener. With this series, I set out to do just that -- put Zappa's theory to the acid test. One project/object led to another and after a time, the series eventually grew to a total of 12 volumes, all with the same objective -- to deconstruct Frank's enormous body of work and then reconstruct it into a brand new form.
Starting with this post, I'll be republishing the entire series, all 12 volumes over the next four weeks. Since the originals links were lost back in 2012, these project/objects have lain silent, so if you missed them the first time around, now's your second chance to grab them. It's an extremely revealing series, if I do say so myself. The process was a massive undertaking, but it was also a pure joy to assemble, not to mention a lot of fun too. It's also an entertaining listen. 'Digital Dust & Iron Oxide' was the starting place, largely a deconstruction of Zappa's musique concrete and synclavier pieces. 'Jazz Noise & Randomonium' is one of my personal favorites, second only to its bastard offspring, 'Son Of JN&R' (P/O, No.#4). 'Orchestral Maneuvers' takes apart some of the darker corners of Zappa's massive body of work, dissecting his rather outré classical compositions.
I'm so confident in the quality of what I've assembled in this series that I can give you 100% assurance that with the 'Frank Zappa Project/Objects, Vols.1-12,' you'll hear and experience Zappa's music in an entirely different way than you've come to know. Begin here:
