It is a series of interviews about Frank Zappa the composer and his work with the Digital Synclavier synthesizer and the relevance of music technology for the modern composer especially in relation to getting complex difficult works performed by conventional orchestras/musicians - the enormous cost and expenses, programming obstacles, etc. It also addresses the issue of immediate feedback for the composer in the creation of a musical work available with technology - not as so many critics claim as a crutch for those who lack musical skills. The discussion of the Synclavier is in the first nine minutes of the piece. </span></font><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">http://www.zappa.com/stufftoget/audio/index.html</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">Carson Farley</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">University of Washington Alumnus - music theory/history</font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">Composer, cellist, theorist</font></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></div></div></body></html>
