Frank Zappia music

An album of songs inspired by and written during the pandemic.

The album was recorded by Frank in his home studio in Canberra, Australia between January and October 2021 and mixed and mastered on the other side of the world, by Andy at Cubico Sound in Spain.

There are some firsts with this album: apart from playing the usual piano/keys, Frank also played guitar and drums on all the tracks.  He also recorded a cover song, adding some additional lyrics to it.

The album consists of a number of styles musically, and contains a variety of samples, including Italians singing from their apartment balconies during lockdown and news reports about wearing masks. 

There was even room on the album for an Andamanese person speaking in an almost extinct language.

Released on 11 November 2021.
