The Books April 29, 2005

Complete Description:
Electronic music composer Nick Zammuto and multi-instrumentalist Paul de Jong collaborate as The Books. Based in New York City and North Adams, The Books brilliantly collage guitar, cello, mandolin, and banjo with field recordings, found sounds, and pop-culture samples. Although the ingredients are commonplace, the results are deeply affecting. Their concerts feature projected video and new, homemade instruments in a highly personal pixilated folk music experience.

This concert is presented as part of the Boston Cyberarts Festival
