Ensemble Modern

Listening to Ensemble Modern playing Frank Zappa's music - Greggery Peccary and other persuasions. Wonderful precision and skilled playing. What a band! It was very good that Zappa in his final years found such a wonderful Ensemble - or was it that Modern asked Zappa to write music for them... This particular Persuasions CD is recorded 2002 - almost ten years after Zappa's death. (And I still have his picture on the toilet wall!) Luckily Todd Yvega could produce ordinary MIDI data from original Synclavier files. And with such meticulous precision Ensemble Modern plays those pieces of music. Thank you very much!

My own project Colours is ready. Been listening it, too. Actually its name changed to Onnellinen oranssi (Happy Orange).
