Dopplereffekt in Wire Magazine

While doing library preparation work, I discovered the October issue of Wire Magazine had featured Dopperleffekt's first ever face to face interview. Since 1995, Dopplereffekt has seen a rotating cast of members with mainstay Gerald Donlad, who is thought to be one-half of the legendary mythological Drexciyan outfit - as well as inspiration to countless electro acts including Ectomorph.

This article is an interesting read which sheds a light on the very inner concept of the duo's futuristic music. A break from the historically pronouncements of Drexciya, Dopplereffekt shifted gears immediately after James Stinson's death and began reinterpreting their sound as purely science based, seeking to create music defined by the evolution of social constructs through a highly technologically advanced society. That's where many of the references to quantum theories and particle physic serve their purpose.

This 2-page feature also does an admirable job blurring the lines between human and alien races. If you were on the fence regarding the psychological evolution of enigmatic figures like Stinson and Donald, whose careers as electronic musicians have been overwhelmingly shrouded in secrecy, than this article helps to expand your imagination regarding these mysterious figures. view the entire article here.

In addition, this wonderful tribute set celebrating the 7th anniversary of James Stinson's passing, was found posted at the Drexciya Research Lab and is highly recommended. Download here.
