Noise From the Cranium Episode 60: Zappa and Emerson - Classical Meets Bizarre

In this episode, I take a look at the musical technique of interpolation, where a segment of another artist’s composition is inserted into a composers work, usually for a specific reason. Both Frank Zappa and Keith Emerson often used interpolation to drive their musical points home, and they each did it their own way and for their own purposes. Have a listen and see how Zappa beefed up the Mothers of Invention material using this technique, while Emerson used it in compositions he wrote for both the Nice and Emerson Lake & Palmer. #Interpolation #FrankZappa #KeithEmerson
