Brooks/ Ostersjo - FootnotesOn the surface, Footnotes is a guitar album that cuts across stylistic and aesthetic boundaries throughout the 20th Century in the U. S. A. But what is this music? Or more importantly, who are the protagonists in this release? William Brooks is a composer; Stefan stersj is a guitarist; Jez Wells is a creative sound engineer. So this would seem to be a composition by Brooks played by stersj and produced by Wells. Alas, the sleeve notes say otherwise:
