DeForrest Brown, Jr + Trevor Mathison
Somerset House, Lancaster Rooms, New Wing, WC2R 1LA , [Venue Details]Assembly '26 closes with two new performances exploring the intersection of electronic music & cultural, historical & technological critique.
Following his residency at Somerset House Studios in March 2025, musician, writer, theorist & curator DeForrest Brown, Jr. returns for Assembly...
... to present a newly commissioned performance, a unique live activation within his multi-media project and philosophical concept Synoptic Audio.
DeForrest Brown, Jr: Synoptic Audio
Informed by Brown Jr.’s research-based practice in live electronic improvisation, Synoptic Audio treats rhythm, spatial sound, and recording to examine cultural perception, the political economy of the music industry, and the platform conditions that shape how music circulates. The project functions as a sonic extension of Brown Jr.’s ongoing research initiative Rhythmanalytics—a work-in-progress and diagnostic exploration of electronic music at the end of the music industry.
Synoptic Audio’s presentation for Assembly takes shape through Brown’s palette of systems developed to generate distinct performances, an iterative process in which recordings are extracted, edited and recombined live. Here, electronic music becomes a form of real-time inquiry, an improvisatory practice that reflects on how music is made and consumed, while suggesting new ways of listening and understanding sound.
