DeForrest Brown, Jr. is a New York-based rhythmanalyst, media theorist and curator. His work is concerned with speculative futures in performative contexts and programmatic intersections of technology and thought. Speaker Music is his digital audio and extended media praxis for rerouting sound and gesture into sonic paintings via iPad, or further abstractions through live mixing with Ableton.
