Description
Frank Zappa's music was shaped by the latest advances in technology, which he exploited to create innovative sounds. The instruments and equipment he used, such as the Marshall amplifier and the Synclavier, were modified to his requirements and used in ways that had never been designed before. This book offers an unprecedented look at the machinery behind Zappa's music, with over 180 unique photographs of his guitars and equipment. Lavishly illustrated, Zappa Gear also introduces the pioneering inventors, engineers, and entrepreneurs who created the instruments that made Zappa's music possible. The book is an official Frank Zappa publication, produced and written with the full cooperation and endorsement of Gail Zappa and the Zappa Family Trust. With a detailed presentation of the equipment and its history, Zappa Gear provides a unique insight into the world of Frank Zappa's music.
