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.
