As a featured instrument on two pieces from this new recording, the Stein-o-caster sets the tone for the aural atmospherics and soundscapes that transport the music into fresh dimensions of space and time.An artist of wide-ranging musical tastes, Brooks has also held a lifelong affinity for the electric guitar (Jimi Hendrix is a personal hero), so in the context of The Memory Palace, it made sense to approach longtime collaborator Mark Stewart - in-house guitarist for the Bang on a Can All-Stars, and musical director for Paul Simon's touring band - for a specially commissioned piece. This became \"Santuario,\" scored for double-neck electric guitar, and a mini-epic of sonic exploration in it's own right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Memory Palace \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Santuario \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Time Garden\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jeffrey Brooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42041696452679,"sku":"45512414","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4456837-3447388.jpg?v=1758797514","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/jeffrey-brooks-the-memory-palace-compact-discs","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
