“The Others Of Invention” lists bands and artists that have recorded and released compositions that were written by Frank Zappa. It also includes recordings that Frank Zappa contributed to, a handful of tributes, and even a couple of albums that include references to Frank Zappa.

The 1200+ pages are being published in three volumes. As print-on-demand books.
Volume 1 includes the FZ discography and lists the OOI from 1966 to 1999.
Volume 2 presents the OOI from 2000 to 2012.
Volume 3 takes a closer look at the OOI from 2013 to 2020 & includes the artist and composition indexes for the three volumes.

Cover artwork by the amazing Maximiliano Lopez Barrios.

I'm pretty happy that the final volume is out.

Full colour luxurious hardback versions available from Boekenbestellen.nl

PIERRE VERVLOESEM - DON'T

Amazing new album by Pierre Vervloesem !

"Don't" is the album that demonstrates what Pierre can do with a bucket, a dictaphone, a guitar, a bass and a fascination for Jon Hassell. 6 tracks that will open a lot of unravels pads in your brain! Have a nice journey!
