This edition of New Sounds offers up songs by the band One Ring Zero, and more. The two-man band —Michael Hearst and Joshua Camp— culls music from anywhere they can in order to achieve the sound they want, using anything from claviola to toy piano, Theremin to kitty litter. ORZ’s most recent album, "As Smart As We Are," features a quirky collection of songs telling tales of hermaphrodites and Jesus to Golem lovers, scored to circus-klezmer tunes. And it’s a literary experience as well, with lyrics contributed by such authors as Jonathan Lethem, Margaret Atwood, Paul Auster, Dave Eggers, A.M. Homes, Rick Moody, and Denis Johnson. Plus, as part of this season’s New Sounds Live concert series, One Ring Zero will be performing some of these songs with Paul Auster and Rick Moody on November 3 at 7PM at the World Financial Center’s Winter Garden.
