Guitarist Dweezil Zappa & The Others Of Intention recently released a new song “Dinosaur” featuring a recording of a solo performed by guitar icon Frank Zappa live in 1977. Dweezil has shared three new installments in the behind-the-scenes mini-documentary detailing the recording “Dinosaur.”

When the single was released earlier this month Dweezil discussed “Dinosaur,” which was sourced from a recording he originally made at age 13, with Rolling Stone. Digging up the old recording led to the inspiration behind its title, which Dweezil the likened to paleontology. The use of the Frank Zappa’s guitar part was inspired by the late musician’s editing process he called “xenochrony,” which was explained by Dweezil explained Rolling Stone like this:

I selected a few analog master solo tracks from live concerts and edited them together to fit over my song. This was a technique developed by my dad in the Seventies. He would collect performances he liked from his live concerts and isolate them from their origin, then pair them with an unrelated performance in the same or relative key, thereby creating a new performance or composition. He called this process “xenochrony.” It is far easier to experiment with xenochrony using computer technology. Back in the Seventies it required brilliant razor blade tape edits and ingenious fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants synchronization between three tape machines.

When “Dinosaur” was issued Dweezil posted the first two “making of” episodes detailing the process of crafting the new track. Listen to “Dinosaur” below and watch episodes 3 – 5 of The Making Of ‘Dinosaur’ followed by the previously shared first two videos below:
