How To Tell A Sound #9: DeForrest Brown (Speaker Music) & Eve Essex 04.11.192019

DeForrest Brown joins host Eve Essex to discuss his solo project Speaker Music,
and his overlapping practices as rhythmanalyst and music critic. The show starts
off with an excerpt and discussion of his debut LP “of desire, longing” (Planet
Mu [https://planet.mu/releases/of-desire-longing/]), and zeroes in on
inspirations for his practice and the record— tracing a narrative from spiritual
free jazz to techno and trap music. Brown performs an impromptu live set of
rhythmatic music with his iPad, and gives a virtual tour inside the box, walking
through how he uses apps to generate his live sets. With tracks by Speaker
Music, Les McCann, Drexciya, Tech Trax Inc and more.
