Inner Ear remained in Don's basement until its 1990 relocation to a larger space on South Oakland Street. Along the way, Inner Ear became best known for recording iconic DC punk musicians including Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Bikini Kill, Rites of Spring, Mary Timony, and Fugazi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Composed by photographer Antonia Tricarico, \u003cem\u003eThe Inner Ear of Don Zientara\u003c\/em\u003e is an oral history of not just Inner Ear's recordings, but the role that Don played in creating one of the most welcoming and nurturing recording studios the world over.
