Paul de Jong and Nick Zammuto (David Garland/WNYC)
The Books present "Lost and Safe"
Paul de Jong and Nick Zammuto collect sounds and phrases from movies, records, and the world around us. They combine those sounds with their cello, banjo and guitar playing and vocals to create an experience that's kind of like music and kind of like a radio play. Recording as The Books, their music is rich with the revealing, illuminating and mystifying magic of collage. De Jong and Zammuto join host David Garland to talk about and present "Lost and Safe," the latest album by The Books. They bring along their legendary sound library to show how some of the elements of their pieces come together, and to share some strange snippets that are still raw material for future projects. The Books are sound explorers, and the music they make is playful, intense, surprising, thoughtful, and perfect for the radio.
