DeForrest Brown Jr. is a theorist, journalist, curator, visual artist, and by necessity, a musician. Raised in the deep South, Brown Jr. asks difficult questions that make us relook at how we think about race, class, post-racial ideas, historical events, and social structures in America.As Speaker Music, he channels the African American modernist tradition of rhythm and soul music against crushed samples and technological sounds. The project was inspired by Rhythmanalysis, a book of essays by urbanist philosopher Henri Lefebvre, as well as considerations of momentum and the “chronopolitical” by British cultural theorist Kodwo Eshu.
He is joined by Phantom Chips (Tara Pattenden) whose work over the past two decades has revolved around a unique and embedded approach to self-made, wearable electronics. These tactile sonic creations become the foundation of her performances which invite the audience to wear them, and by doing so, become part of the emergent noise field.
Performances from 7.00pm sharp.
MONO is a program of experimental sound curated by Lawrence English of Room40.
