Frank Zappa engineering on track 5
Frank Zappa plays tambourine and provides engineering assistance on the Don Preston track "On The Throne Of Saturn".
I have just received that album and listened to the Preston track. It includes some percussive sound effects that are very Varesean / Zappaesque, so it's hard to believe that Zappa's contribution here is only tambourine and engineering assistance. Anybody knows better?
The real name of the piece is "The Thrones Of Saturn" Zappa did not play on the piece but some time around 1969 Zappa had me play on the 3 gongs I had at the time and he engineered the recording changing the filters as I played. I re-released the piece on a CD called Io Landscapes which can be found on my web site www.donpreston.com
