Description: Brooks's performances often included unusual instruments such as the musical saw and drums with vacuum tubes set up so as to regulate the pitch.[2] He began to acquire a reputation for bizarre behavior on and off stage, and occasionally sought treatment for mental disorders.[2][4] In 1975 he left New York and returned to Detroit, and began using lithium to regulate his behavior.[2] In the 1980s he returned to The Artistic Truth and gigged regularly in Detroit with Kenny Cox, Harold McKinney, and Wendell Harrison. With those three he co-founded M.U.S.I.C. (Musicians United to Save Indigenous Culture), and later also founded the Aboriginal Percussion Choir, an ensemble devoted to the use of non-Western percussion instruments.[4] He used his basement as a practice and learning space, working with children as well as accomplished musicians.[4]
