Jason.Kreitzer: From Discogs.com: "Upon his acquisition of the Synclavier system, Frank Zappa used this as a compositional tool, placing into it various segments of a broad spectrum of works - both past and present. These pieces were often 'played' into further works and thus he viewed it as an 'entity' of musicians, which he called "The Barking Pumpkin Digital Gratification Consort"

-Go ahead, I know, you can't resist asking: ''"Who is Francesco Zappa?"'' Francesco Zappa was a musician from Milan who lived  near the end of the 18th century. No one has bothered to remember when he was born, only that he ''florished'' between 1763 and 1788.<ref name="Salvetti">Guido Salvetti, THE NEW GROVE DICTIONARY OF MUSIC & MUSICIANS, Stanley Sadie, ed., Washington D.C., MacMillan, 1980, vol.20, p644.</ref>

 While Francesco 'florished', Europe was ablaze with new inventions like the steam engine, powdered wigs and [[wikipedia:Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]]. Although no practical uses were ever found for this stuff, it didn't stop them from being used to make someone a lot of money.

 While Francesco waited for his next royalty check, he thought it prudent to find a steady job. Soon he was employed as ''Master of Music'' for none other than the Duke of York. Besides playing during the Duke's feedings, Francesco spent time instructing the Duke's family on the attainment of musical rapture. Not a bad time, all in all.
-This position naturally gave Francesco a certain amount of 18th century ''name recognition.'' With his music advertised as far away as the American colonies, he found opportunities to tour Europe. A trip to Germany with his 'cello even produced more good reviews. ''"Francesco Zappa ... charmed his audience by his beautiful tone and delivery."''<ref name="vdStraeten>Edmund S. J. van de Straeten, HISTORY OF THE VIOLONCELLO, London, William Reeves, 1915, p169.</ref> Whether Francesco was actually the first performer to attract attention by using a woman's stage name will have to be left to future historians to decide.

 It might have been about that time that Francesco began to call himself ''Francois.'' "Francois" Zappa eventually settled in The Hague while there was still enough room there for him to play his 'cello.

 Included on this record are all the trios that Francesco dedicated to Count Catanti and to that unsuspecting Englishman, plus a few from a later set that he dedicated to a certain ''"Prince Charles."'' Any more questions? How about ''"What's next for the BARKING PUMPKIN DIGITAL GRATIFICATION CONSORT?"''
-Well, that's hard to say. The Consort has already recorded some of Frank Zappa's own music<ref name="LP">[[Boulez Conducts Zappa: The Perfect Stranger |THE PERFECT STRANGER, Boulez conducts Zappa]]. Angel Records, 1984/1992 (BPR&nbsp;D2&nbsp;74242).</ref>, and there seems to be plenty of other Zappa waiting for ''their'' chance. There's Domenico Zappa, the 16th century Viennese Zink player, or ''Father Simeone Zappa,'' the Bolognese musical theorist of the same century<ref name="Eitner">Rob. Eitner, QUELLEN-LEXIKON der MUSIKER und MUSIKGELEHRTEN, New York, Musurgia, 1898.</ref>, or Guido Zappa, the mathematician, or Paolo Zappa, the author of a book on leprosy (''"UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN!"''), or Anita Zappa, the poet. Maybe we'll even find a way of liberating some of Francesco Zappa's symphonies from the ''really''dusty libraries in Europe. But don't worry, we'll do something.
