Frank Zappia music

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

I recorded the album in my home studio in Canberra, Australia between January and October 2021.  It was 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, I also played guitar and drums on all the tracks.  I also recorded a cover song for the first time, 𝑴𝒂𝒅 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅, 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.
