Why this website and why do I this?Reallly good question! The simple answer is: I wanted to.
Ok, here goes the long version: I'm a 19 years old guy from Budapest,
Hungary. I study music, computer science & electronics to be a sound / music
engineer. So, this page is my playground where I can try out my web programming
(html, css, ms sql, asp) and music recording / editing skills.
Now I do not think of myself as a musician, and I do not make my living as a
musician. But I am convinced that analysing and playing Zappa's music helps to
train myself to be a musician. Anyway I think, playing Zappa is a great
challenge - and it has become one of my favourite hobbies!
As you can see, this website is not and was never intended to be a competitor
to Google or Myspace. It is what it appears to be. It gives the possibility to
publish your own Zappa covers and/or your own music here. That's all.
Who is Frank Zappa?
The one
behind that funny moustache. And he's the guy who has his picture taken sitting
on the toilet.
Anyway, he is the best guitarist, the most intelligent and most talented
musician to ever walk the Earth. Frank Zappa is the grand wazoo. For more

Who is ZW?
His idea was to
create this website. Anyway, he is my father.
What is MIDI?
MIDI (short for
Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a music industry standard
communications protocol that lets MIDI compatible instruments (keyboards, drums,
guitars, etc.) and sequencers (or computers running sequencer software) talk to
each other to play and record music. More and more of the music you hear every
day is written with and played by MIDI sequencers.
