audio SlonimskyOnZappa sound 2003-11-20 17:23:26 Nicolas Slonimsky In these recorded comments by Slonimsky, his musical world (classical/avant garde) and that of Frank Zappa (popular/avant garde) came together primarily due to the publication of a book by Slonimsky on scales and harmonies that attracted Zappa’s attention. Slonimsky recounts his acceptance of an invitation by Zappa to play with his Rock Band. He also recounts how amazed he was when he observed Zappa’s scores for classical music which looked “far out” like something Edgar Varese would write, a composer who was admired by both Slonimsky and Zappa. Recorded at Slonimsky's home in Los Angeles by Charles Amirkhanian. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd-nc/1.0/ 1983-05-03 00:00:00 other_minds bernard@otherminds.org 2003-11-20 17:23:26 bernard 0 00:04:28 2004-06-10 17:24:19 bernard All Other Minds programs available, with additional print and photo materials, at http://www.radiOM.org.
