about

“There are no drum-machines, only rhythm synthesizers programming new intensities from white noise.”
- Kodwo Eshun, More Brilliant Than the Sun

Speaker Music follows up his acclaimed “Black Nationalist Sonic Weaponry” with a four track EP “Soul-Making Theodicy”. A sample of a developing gestural praxis of electronic drumming inspired by percussionists such as Rashied Ali, Max Roach, Metro Boomin and Steve Poindexter. Recorded by hand using haptic rhythm synthesizers via iPad and Push alongside a 49-Key MIDI Controller––routed through Ableton and mixed live into stereophonic paintings, or further abstractions of rhythm and soul.
