[a bit OT] Sebkha-Chott performs Frank Zappa's Thing Fish feat Ike Willis: crowdfunding call

3:53 p.m.
Hi all,
Well, this is a bit off-topic, but I know there are a lot of Frank Zappa
fans in there, and actually, this project will, once more, used free
software onstage (especially a videoprojection software to simulate the
decorum).
So, here it is, Sebhka-Chott will perform Frank Zappa's Thing Fish in
commemoration of his death, 20 years ago.
Thing Fish is kinda Broadway Musical Comedy, but as Zappa wrote it, it's
absurd, freaks, and funny. Zappa never could perform it on stage, and,
from what we know, it only has been performed once, in London in 2003.
We will perform it at the Zappanale festival, in Germany, on 2nd of
August, and moreover, we will perform it in an extended version of
Sebkha-Chott, implying 13 people, including
*IKE WILLIS*
the original Thing Fish, the singer of the album, and actually, the
companion of Zappa during his last 20 years.
Today is the day we launch a crowdfunding action, because it's a big
project, and we need help to make it possible for us to work on this not
only as volunteers!
A dedicated page is available here:
http://ammd.net/-Sebkha-Chott-Galoot-Formula-
with some explanations about the project, and with a *TEASER* performed,
mixed and rendered with free softwares only (you should recognize
several Sebkha-Chott's typical).
To end up, I must admit, this time, and this time only, we're not
speaking about free art, cause Zappa Family Trust does not really manage
Zappa's thunes this way....
Thanks a lot for reading.

It seems a really interesting project, and using OSS... and Zappa-ish.
Do you have any place with info about programs, workflow, process,
details?
Good luck and keep us informed.

Fantastic! While not my favorite work, it's an ambitious project, and,
well, it's Frank!
To end up, I must admit, this time, and this time
only, we're not
speaking about free art, cause Zappa Family Trust does not really manage
Zappa's thunes this way....
It's very sad to me how the FZT has handled itself. Despite FZ's response
to how he'd like to be remembered ("Keep playing my music"), the FZT
has often gone overboard, even harassing tribute bands like the fantastic
Project/Object for playing Frank's music without paying royalties, even
though all that's required is that the venue the band plays in has an
ASCAP/BMI license. If Gail Zappa was correct in saying the FZT needed to
get paid by the bands, then there'd never be another cover band ever.
I know of one FZ band that stopped playing because of the Trust's
goon squad approach. It was sad to see them give up, but they were
broke and didn't want to have to hire a lawyer. FZT didn't actually
sue them - to the best of my knowledge they have never gone that far -
but the threat was enough. I know she did sue Zappanale for trademark
infringement and lost.
I have made the decision not to buy any more Zappa material nor go see
any more Zappa Plays Zappa shows because of the way that the Trust has
tried to extort money that is not legally theirs from performances of
Frank's music.
That said, good luck with this project and I hope you have a fantastic
experience at Zappanale!

Yes, she finally lost. This was really a shitty sue, but the German

Hi Aurelien,
You're part of that project? Wow!!! I haven't envied anybody for anything
for a very long time. But this sounds just great.
Have a lot of fun!
Kind regards,
Felix
P.S.: I would really love to type your name right. I just don't know how to
get that accent on the 'e'.

Felix:
Without any ASCII code knowledge, copy/paste is your friend as ever with
these Euro names. I'm surprised I'm pointing this out to someone on this
list! :)
Wha?
Let me get this straight - you've posted to a list about free audio asking
for money to help perform a Zappa song when you refuse to buy any Zappa
music yourself out of principal? Eh? :)
I only like 60's Zappa - Hot Rats is the last album I can recommend before
his music got a bit too pretentious - and that coming from a prog rock
obsessive so I like a good dose of musical one-upmanship, just not the type
Zappa started to churn out post 1970.
Baby Snakes was a cool film though.

here this is the key before the backward key (on the right side on top)
on the keyboard, press it, and then press the e.
Normally when you press, the "`' " key, no sign will appear, but when
it is followed by a key which can have accent, it will. So, it's a
"prefix key".

Hmm, I should precise, I do not buy any Zappa Family Trust release or
production (shows). I really think they do something wrong with what
they inherited.
Then, I usually write and play Free Art Licensed music. Still I'm a
totally un-objective Zappa fan (and some other acts, too, like Mr
Bungle, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum...), and unfortunately, Zappa's music
is not really licensed as free art.... That's the first time since
Sebkha-Chott exists (14 years) we go out of our strictly free way, but
we felt we had too.

Sure it was. There is an incredible bass/keyboards/drums piece at one
moment, which is just the perfect example of what improvisation can lead
to. Line up is Patrick O'Hearn, Terry Bozzio, and Tommy Mars. Both of
them shall be 20 to 25 years old.... utch!

Yes, yes, yes.. "Broadway the Hard Way" *is* great. It's very political and
still the band has so much fun playing so precisely!
"Freak out!" and "Absoulutely Free" started it all for me (purchased
them
on the same day). They're both still two of my favourites. I very much
like "Burnt Weeny Sandwich", love "Hot Rats" and "Bongo
Fury", and well at
some time I even liked "Uncle Meat".
It still is! It is visually mind blowing. I hope there will be a DVD
release of "The amazing Mr. Bickford" one day.
I only like 60's Zappa - Hot Rats is the last album I can recommend

Great! Please, tell me that your using an FTU on stage. That would make me
feel like being a tiny part of that show :-)

I'll try my best to come there but will probably be on stage myself
somewhere else.
