Zappa coined a Xen word too

Going back to the Frank Zappa related exchanges from a while ago,
I came across some interesting things while researching material
for my web site :

Quoting from "Liner Notes from THE GUITAR WORLD ACCORDING TO FRANK ZAPPA"
http://home5.swipnet.se/~w-59501/misc/guitarworld.html

"This is one of the earliest examples of a technique I developed called
Xenochrony (strange synchronizations). In this technique various tracks from
unrelated sources are randomly synchronized with each other to make a final
composition with rhythmic relationships unachievable by other means. In
ordinary polyrhythmic terms we speak of 5 in the space of 4, or 7 in the
space of 6. In Xenochrony we deal with larger units of time; a complete solo
at one metronomic rate in the space of a track at another�... sort of like
Monday and Tuesday crammed into the space of Wednesday."
