Zappa en Regalia: Vita complicata di un Genio
()
About this ebook
A vent'anni dalla morte, un ricordo del tutto personale di Frank Zappa. Un omaggio alla sua vita orgogliosa e intransigente, alla fatica di essere un genio nell'America che tollera le sue menti critiche, ma imponendo loro prezzi insostenibili. I dischi. I cambi di formazione. La musica fatta di musiche. Le ambizioni “classiche”. Le presunzioni e le esagerazioni. Il rapporto esasperato col pubblico, e complicato con se stesso, la famiglia, i musicisti. La bulimia strumentale e tecnologica. L'eredità insostenibile per chiunque. La irrinunciabile difficoltà della fruizione. L'etica della musica, che vincola anche chi la ascolta. Un omaggio pieno di affetto per una non-rockstar difficile da amare, ma impossibile da non amare. Un compositore che attende ancora il suo posto nella memoria e nella storia della musica contemporanea: quello in cima, sopra a tutti gli altri.
"Non ci sarà mai più uno così. La sua è musica perenne, viva, musica esuberante da ventesimo secolo, musica di cose che si muovono, si spostano, nervosa e precisa, appassionata e affilata, scioccherella e complicata, anarchica e irriverente, indolente e eccitante, elegante e maleducata, cinica e struggente, sfuggente e presente, musica di città, di metropoli, di bassifondi, di cattedrali scolpite nell'aria e in stagione della vita quella musica inafferrabile e invadente, imprescindibile, inevitabile ci rapisce, ci rituffa nella vigilia di noi stessi, ci scaglia incontro ad una incognita di tempo da sprecare, e di sole, e di incontri, e di qualsiasi cosa tu possa lontanamente immaginare. Zappa ti cambia la vita anche da morto. Perché la sua musica morire non può e la fai vivere tu, che te la porti dentro prima ancora di saperlo. Quando finalmente la scopri, lo senti, capisci che suona per te, parla con te."
