DeForrest Brown/Speaker Music Bio:

DeForrest Brown Jr. is an Alabama-raised, ex-American rhythmanalyst, writer, and curator. As Speaker Music, he channels the African American modernist tradition of rhythm and soul music as an intellectual site and sound of techno-vernacular expression. He has released three albums on Planet Mu: of desire, longing (2019), Black Nationalist Sonic Weaponry (2020), and Techxodus (2023). His written work explores the links between the Black experience in industrialized labor systems and Black innovation in electronic music. Brown’s debut book, Assembling a Black Counter Culture, was released on Primary Information in 2022. In 2023, he co-curated HOPE, an international group exhibition presented by Museion Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Bolzano-Bozen, Italy, as the final installment of the TECHNO HUMANITIES trilogy. Brown is currently collaborating with the techno originator, Juan Atkins, and Berlin Club/record label, Tresor, on the meta-narratives for Cybotron’s Maintain the Golden Ratio (2023), Parallel Shift (2024), and beyond.
