My obligation is to release the music the way Frank [Zappa] released it.

It's the ultimate identity theft when you start messing with somebody's work. Thinking that you could edit the work, or mix it differently, or re-EQ it, or make claims about it that aren't true.

Musicians more than most people are in the moment. That's the dual nature of that job.

If you think about how long it takes to write a piece of music for an orchestra, it's outrageous to me, outrageous.

My obligation is to release the music the way Frank [Zappa] released it.

It's one thing to write the music, it's another thing to write it down, it's another thing to play it, and something else altogether again to learn how to play it. These are the elements that are fascinating, and, you know, move my world.

I don't think there's a problem with people discovering the music unless there's no way to get to them. That's the problem that you always have.
