cccli. ZAPPA, Frank (1940-1993)
Nasal Retentive Calliope Music (1968)
(2:02)
from: We're Only In It For The Money
This is musique concrète.
I am fairly certain that Zappa must have owned this record, released in 1964:
The Columbia-Princeton Electronic Center
- Between this track -- which starts off Side Two of the LP -- and the opening track on Side One (Are You Hung Up?), there appears to my ears to be near-quotes from both Bülent Arel ("Stereo Electronic Music No. 1) and Halim El-Dabh (Leiyla and the Poet) ...
- 1:39-1:57: Heavies (The Cruncher) by The Rotations ...
- 1:57-2:02: Record scratches from Davy Jones's What Are We Going To Do?
- Zappa: "We took a Davy Jones record that the engineer happened to have sitting around and a Garrard turntable. And we spent approximately a half an hour scratching the record, trying to get just the right kind of record scratch. And then we got the one that sounded good, we panned it back and forth. And that's the thing that we used as the effect on the album. That particular effect, if you figure the studio time cost eighty-dollars an hour at that point, that effect, if we spent a half an hour to negotiate it, cost forty dollars, plus tape, plus record, plus electricity." [-- from Charles Ulrich's The Big Note.]
