The first volume of the Books' story takes place in 1999 in a New Yorkapartment building, where Paul de Jong and Nick Zammuto meet when they bothhappen to be living there. Cellist de Jong and artist/musician/cook/chemistZammuto discover their mutual fascination with sound collection and collageand begin nosing through each other's extensive sample library. Fast forwardto Volume Two, in which the Books relocate to Hot Springs, North Carolina,where they finish recording their first album in the basement of the innwhere Zammuto is working. Their heady, hybrid concoction of acousticinstrumentation (banjo, cello, myriad guitars) and found sounds culled fromsources such as DAT recordings, old films and the tape bin at the SalvationArmy draws the attention of Tomlab Records and the acclaim of critics.Volume Three takes place in tiny, remote North Adams, Massachusetts, wherethe Books record both their second and third albums. The group's first-evertour follows the release of Lost and Safe, featuring violist/fiddlerAnne Doerner, a filing cabinet and accompanying video clips drawn from,among others sources, a tape of Japanese kids sumo wrestling in their livingroom.
