"Your coolness quotient shoots up a few points
if you're in the know about One Ring Zero."
- The Washington Post

We scoured this year's International Presenters Conference in NY for the absolutely best and most exciting events, and Brooklyn Auteur Michael Hearst is one of them! Known for his singular Brooklyn band One Ring Zero and his latest "Songs For Ice Cream Trucks" project, Hearst is also the brains behind the critically acclaimed album "As Smart as They Are," featuring lyrics by such literati as Margaret Atwood, Paul Auster, Dave Eggers and Rick Moody.
The "Songs
for Unusual Creatures" program celebrates some of the lesser-known creatures that roam the planet. From the Australian
Bilby, to the deep-sea Magnopinna Squid, to the Chinese Giant Salamander, the songs are brought to life by a gaggle
of bizarre sounds and instruments including theremin, claviola, stylophone, and musical instrument robots by Eric Singer's
mind-blowing L.E.M.U.R. (The League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots). Don't miss this! Hearst was a member of
the "house
band" for McSweeney's Publishing House, has toured with The Magnetic Fields, and performed with The Kronos Quartet
at Carnegie Hall. He has appeared on such shows as NPR's Fresh Air and This American Life", A& E's Breakfast With
The Arts, and NBC's The Today Show.
