Their music is a mix of aleatoric music, electronica, folk, and acoustic music (de Jong is a cellist and Zammuto plays acoustic guitar and electric bass), incorporating samples of sounds, speech and music. They have released three albums, all on the German (Cologne) label Tomlab. They are currently recording and residing in North Adams, Massachusetts. Their 2006 live shows consisted primarily of live acoustic performance (cello, guitar and vocals), played with prerecorded electronics and synchronized video. Their music ("Tokyo" from The Lemon of Pink) was featured in the KnowHIVAIDS television ad campaign. The Books Music The Books Microsite TODD REYNOLDS Todd Reynolds is an American violinist, composer, and conductor well-known for his work with amplified violin and electronics. A student of Jascha Heifetz and former principle of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Reynolds entered into the contemporary music scene in New York as a member of Bang on a Can and Steve Reich and Musicians.

The Welsh unit Super Furry Animals was one of the first post-alternative bands, fusing together a number of disparate musical genres (including power pop, punk rock, techno, and progressive rock) to create a shimmering, melodic, irreverent, and willfully artsy rock 'n' roll sound. Armed with a drum set, a bass guitar, a myriad of toy keyboards, guitar peddles, mixers, and even a 35 mm film synchronizer, this band creates a unique and unforgettable sound.
