Frank Zappa: Peefeeyatko (1991)

For the past ten years Zappa in composing has turned away from Rock and Roll music - for which he first became famous - and has been working on new, contemporary, orchestral electronic music; in solitude and beyond any commercial conventions or commitments. It is the first time that Zappa has allowed a film crew to study him during compositional work, actually filming the first moments of a new compositional process. By contrast, in a staged interview Zappa gives comments on music. This film seeks to reveal the sensetivities of Zappa's personality and character also beyond narrative content. composer, bandleader, the mother of invention, rock, experimental music, avant garde, frank zappa, american musician, grammy lifetime achievement award., rock and roll hall of fame
