I never go into Chat but I will be the First to second that request

I posted this in General and again FAQ, but those are probably the wrong places. Forgive my ignorance, but I'm new to message boards.

Dear ZFT,

I always find it sad that Mr Zappa’s assimilation, application, and visionary use of technology in his compositions is seemingly overlooked. But then, perhaps that’s a testament to his mastery of the subject.

My question concerns the 6 channel sound, pioneered for the EM project. Was any of the technology documented in any audio journals ( I don’t recall reading about it in Computer Music Journal at the time), and more importantly, is any of it patented? I envisioned a project that would require 8 channel sound in a performance space almost 20 yrs ago, and only now feel that I’m ready to tackle it. Any information or directions that you could point me towards on this matter would be highly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Ecuatorial

the zft hasn't answered any questions here on the forum, since I don't know when...
you can try sending an email to gail zappa: gail@zappa.com

good luck.

It might be faster to ask Dweezil himself at dweezilzappaworld.com.He has a gear thread he is active in.Your question would fit right in.

Anyone know if Philly '76 is going to go back on sale anytime soon? I missed getting a copy and now I see it's out of stock. Arse.

Flashy! Do those speed stripes along the sides actually make the car go faster?
