DeForrest Brown Jr.'s final piece as Speaker Music - is Synoptic Audio. The album is made of live recordings of electronic improvisation, essentially a self-made palette of dense, transporting drone and hand played keyboards and drums. It’s a nexus of jazz and techno at the level of practice. It sounds like a jazz symphonic arrangement of shoegaze/post-rock via Detroit/dub techno, drawing inspiration from Black electronic music pioneer Don Lewis.May 28th, Single 1: Dhalgren (Nihilism is Not Enough) (UPC: 634457260580) DeForrest calls this "semiocoustic reason"—using rhythm, resonance, and vibration as a way of thinking and perceiving the world. The project is informed by Brown’s ongoing research into a diagnostic framework that draws on Henri Lefebvre’s theory of rhythmanalysis, where everyday life is analysed through rhythmic perception.
