Michael Brook is a Canadian musician, inventor, producer, and film score composer known for his innovative work with the infinite guitar—a unique instrument that he developed which allows sustained notes to ring indefinitely. His distinctive sound, blending guitar with electronic and world music influences, has established him as a pioneering force in ambient and experimental music.

Brook's career spans several decades, during which he has collaborated with a diverse array of artists, including Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, notably on the acclaimed album "Night Song". His versatility has also led him to become a sought-after composer for film, contributing evocative scores to movies such as "Into the Wild," for which he provided additional music, and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower". His more recent works underscore his continued relevance in the cinematic world, including soundtracks for "Garish," "Embattled," "Giant Little Ones," and "Stronger," each showcasing his ability to evoke nuanced emotions and atmospheres. In parallel to his film work, Brook's interest in the realm of storytelling and audio experiences extends to his involvement with podcasts, having contributed to the "Into the Wild Podcast" and the "Brooklyn Podcast," further highlighting his versatility and enduring impact on contemporary music and sound design.
