For more than 25 year Brooks has worked in his New York studio, Harmonic Ranch , as a composer/sound-desgner creating music for film, dance, television, multi-media installations, and performances. Through the use of electronic and acoustic instruments Brooks has worked alone
and in collaboration with other musicians, dancers or video artists. Brooks is a co-founder of 80’s era music/performance group History of Unheard Music (HUM) with Charlie Mendoza and Beo Morales. HUM used masks, films, video, music and theatrics and performed in New York at the
Kitchen, DTW, Roulette, and various galleries and clubs, and tours in Europe. HUM released two records, “Drop It†and “Milk of Amnesiaâ€.
In the 1990’s Brooks started to develop an interest in photography and video. His visual style is influenced by his musical background and his love of electronic processing and manipulation.
Brooks currently performs with Beo Morales in a duet called Band-B.
