About Speaker Music
Artist Biography
New York-based theorist, journalist, curator, and multimedia artist DeForrest Brown, Jr. describes his Speaker Music project as "a digital audio and extended media praxis." The project takes inspiration from urbanist philosopher Henri Lefebvre's essay collection Rhythmanalysis, as well as British-Ghanaian cultural theorist Kodwo Eshun's notion of the "chronopolitical." On releases such as 2020's Black Nationalist Sonic Weaponry and 2023's Techxodus, Brown combines jazz improvisation and ever-mutating electronic beat sequences with spoken passages addressing subjects such as race, class, and social/economic structures.
