In 1967, I hired Frank Zappa for $2,000 to do the sound track for this animated tv commercial that I was animating and producing. It won a clio award for “best use of sound.” it was the beginning of a two year relationship that had me filming 14 hours of footage to be used for a film he called “Uncle Meat”.

      something to think about

      When Mozart was composing at the end of the eighteenth century, the city of Vienna was so quiet that fire alarms could be given verbally, by a shouting watchman mounted on top of St. Stefan’s Cathedral. In twentieth-century society, the noise level is such that it keeps knocking our bodies out of tune and out of their natural rhythms. This ever-increasing assault of sound upon our ears, minds, and bodies adds to the stress load of civilized beings trying to live in a highly complex environment. — Stephen Halpern
