Speaker Music - Synoptic Audio [CD]

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. 1. Techno-Vernacular Expressionism 2. Saecularhythmia—The Rhythmanalyst relates to semiocoustic reason. 3. …beyond the broken beat 4. Chaosmosis 5. Sense-Datum Volumetrics 6. Synoptic Audio 7. GLO//A (Global Latency Optimization // Acceleration) 8. Teleoplexy 9. Oogie Boogie 10. Dhalgren (Nihilism is Not Enough)
