Dopplereffekt

Situated at the intersection of electro, techno, and quantum physics, Dopplereffekt function less as performers than as system engineers. Emerging from Detroit in the mid-1990s, the project was founded by Gerald Donald following his work with Drexciya, alongside collaborators such as Rudolf Klorzeiger, To Nhan Le Thi, and Beatrice Ottmann. Over three decades, their output has carried forward Detroit’s sci-fi tradition through sound, exploring automation and human obsolescence via austere rhythms and synthetic voices. To witness them live is to encounter the place where music and science meet – electronica at its most rigorous and conceptual: precision over nostalgia, electro as experiment, and the dancefloor as laboratory.
