Juneteenth lineup round-up and Black Techno Matters scorchers

Juneteenth is about emancipation, and it’s expressed in musical joy across the USA today. Here are our friends from Black Techno Matters with their community calendar of events today — one might be near you — plus two recent releases you should hear wherever you are.

Fragmented textures, interactive RNBO-powered video: Annie Hui-Hsin Hsieh

Composer Annie Hui-Hsin Hsieh, known for her concert outings, shifts to a lushly organic electronic album in flowing, humming, fragmented electronics for her debut album as a producer. And it comes with an interactive music video powered by Max and RNBO, so if you’re in the mood to VJ yourself, flying around some Gaussian splats, here’s your chance.
