The Garden Of Forking Paths is the first full length solo CD
by San Francisco based musician Jefre Cantu-Ledesma. Eschewing
the laptop processing of his earlier work as Colophon, the
album was created with an assortment of tape recording mediums
(Cassette, Micro-Cassette, Reel to Reel tape machine) and a
small arsenal of guitar stop boxes used on wide variety of
instruments from electric guitar to bowed gong. In addition to
recording at his home studio, various sites found in the near
by Marin Headlands just north of San Francisco were used for
live outdoor site specific recording.
With its title taken from a short story by Jorge Luis Borges,
the album is overtly concerned with dreams, memory, death,
birth, infinity and the possibility of a labyrinth like
approach to music making, where songs are not written as much
as they slowly emerge out of the process of music making.
