Dopplereffekt

Sep 8

READ IN APP

Good morning. We’ll be off next week – back on September 18.

It’s Friday so we’re listening to something more upbeat. Today we’re listening to Dopplereffekt, a techno music act from Detroit. The leader of the act was Gerald Donald, who also co-founded the group Drexciya. With Dopplereffekt, as with many of Donald’s projects, he uses machines to create music that simulates and scores future worlds of man-machine conflict, synthesis, and capture. We’re playing Dopplereffekt’s 1999 LP, Gesamtkunstwerk. Beyond the titles, the influence of German proto-techno artists like Kraftwerk is clearly heard on tracks like “Satellites” and “Plastiphilia.”

Gesamtkunstwerk - Dopplereffekt (60m, some vocals starting from track 6, some explicit)
