'''Notes & Comments'''<br>
This show is a documentary concentrating on FZ's technique of composition with the Synclavier. It has some great bits of dialogue, and there are wonderful intercut remarks by several composers such as Boulez, Xenakis, and Stockhausen (and some footage of FZ with the first two). The director also felt compelled to periodically insert b&w sequences from monster movies here and there, and also footage of some bozo talking about Bigfoot.<br>

Well, to hear FZ talking about his music and demonstrating what he can do at his Synclavier is great fun. But the real gem here is that the musical background is ALL BY FZ – from his Synclavier. And there is a several-minutes-long segment in the middle entitled "Electronic Music by Frank Zappa" with no dialogue or distractions, not a demo, either, but what sounds like a well-realized piece of music already.
