{"product_id":"jeffrey-brooks-the-memory-palace","title":"Jeffrey Brooks- The Memory Palace (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen composer Jeffrey Brooks premiered The Memory Palace at Bang on a Can's summer festival at MASS MoCA in July 2023, he'd perfected the presentation of what we now know as the Stein-o-caster - a new form of prepared piano, fitted with pickups, that he conceived and designed the previous year with electronics engineer Greg Lee. 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.\r\n\r\nAn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e UPC \u0026gt; 713746320621 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Format \u0026gt; New CD \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Label \u0026gt; Cantaloupe \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Release Date \u0026gt; Release Date: 11.21.25 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46798770110685,"sku":"713746320621","price":138.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4456837-3447388.jpg?v=1758307290","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/products\/jeffrey-brooks-the-memory-palace","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
