Strangely addictive

Original and truly interesting (that means I like it…) First tune definitely Bowiesque.

[PascalH_HSMR_CIWA]

It’s an excellent experiment @francoise .
If the first part, as mentioned @drmad has a Bowiesque influence, the second would certainly appeal more to Frank Zappa.
It might be a good idea, although I am wary of copyright issues since some members of the Zappa family are very strict about royalties.
You have the advantage of sharing and not being afraid to develop your ideas, which are enriching, at least for me.

I thought it sounded like David Sylvian (it’s his picture), which is not far from Bowie but you both know better than me. My younger brother was listening to Bowie.

Omnivocal beta comes with Cubase 15 Elements, Artist or Pro. There will probably have another version with a text to phonetics input; it’s the only part missing.

J’expérimentais à la fin des années 90 avec MBROLA, un algorithme (français?) qui contenait plusieurs bases de locuteurs. On pouvait les faire chanter si on comprend la prosodie. J’ai fait chanter un Japonais en Québécois. Hilarant!

The PAD window in Cubase should be more interesting for you.

Zappa’s Blessed Relief is in a standard jazz fakebook. I don’t intend to monetize anything.

Where waiting for our first 15 cm. of snow this evening but it won’t stay.
Vous êtes mieux en Bretagne!

I did a scat experiment, relatively popular on the Cubase forum.

I was alluding to what I could compose and experiment with @francoise , like in a solo with two accomplices before the group sinks into oblivion even before having existed.

I must admit in hindsight, the sound was recorded on a small camera and I am a little embarrassed today about the rest of the presentation, but it is impossible to find a way to access this profile. I think I would handle this type of musical proposal more professionally.

[francoise]

It does sound like a Zappa solo. You play much much faster than me!

Freak out was the first Zappa album I listened to. Then I bought Uncle Meat (my favorite), Lumpy Gravy, Hot Rats, 200 Motels. He played with great musicians (Ponty, the Breker brother, George Duke, etc.) .I liked the tonal tuines like Blessed Relief, Peaches in regalia, and the UFO Dog Breath Variations.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26X9ecyMZss

Then I was playing Girl from Ipanema with my brother on tenor sax on stage in a college gig trying to emulate Howrad Roberts ( H R Is a Dirty Guitar Player) and Jr. Walker & The All Stars (Shotgun).

Thank you @francoise for your attention and kindness; it was a way, at my own modest level, to express my perspective on his music.
Although it was a total improvisation, I apologize for its imperfections.
Well, one should not confuse speed with rush; at least I did my best.

Here is my collection: nearly 80 albums, CDs, and other items, as well as books about Frank Zappa. The first was a vinyl of Sheik Yerbouti.

I hope I am not straying too far from your topic, and I apologize if I am.
Have a good afternoon.
