I want to jump a wire from the positive brake light power wire to another closed circuit to introduce a ground and shut off the primary circuit when the brakes are applied. The primary closed circuit will simulate a 'turbine' spool up, which I wish to interrupt when the brake lights come on while introducting a similar secondary 'turbine' spool down circuit to complete the turbine sound effect of spooling up and down.

I agree with the first answer. You need a relay. These are available at any electronics shop and probably most auto shops. The most accessible place to connect to the brake light circuit is the switch located at the brake pedal. Relays are sufficiently common, I wonder how they would not be obvious to anyone that knows enough to build the rest of the circuit you describe.

Probably a relay is your best bet. Lots of automotive relays are available, for controlling headlights, horns, and other high-current gadgetry.
