Speaker Music - Synoptic Audio [CD] J-Pop Hob XXII:14: ViaDeForrest 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.
