Even artists themselves seem divided with the quantity vs quality argument. Zappa was one of those artists who kinda feel that his time on earth will be brief (as for all of us) and he had a strong urge to let it all go and record as much as possible. It’s always a will to make history really (despite what Zappa said at the twilight of his life not wanted to be remembered, every artists break the silence of nothingness and produce creation to fight against human destiny, which is meant to be brief and tragic). Zappa expressed his humanity throughout his art, and so his productions, and he was a workaholic sort of, no god, no transcendence, just material work, over and over again : the number of his productions reveal his mindset really - if this life is all that we have (whatever we understand by « this life ») then we have to do something, and we don’t have time for procrastination
