Frank Zappa loved to explore sounds, to dissect rhythms. On electric guitar, he was an innovator of tone, a unique long-form improviser, a connaisseur of poly-metrical tension, a feedback controller. When composing 'Ländler for Zappa', I was not keen on emulating FZ. Instead my guideline was: "Could he have liked it?" From my adolescent years onwards, I have always been a huge Zappa fan. And that's my way of showing it. MS PS: 'Ländler' is a traditional genre of music from the Southern part of Germany.
