Dopplereffekt ( German for ' Doppler effect') is an electronic music act from Detroit which has been active since 1995, and whose main member is producer/artist Gerald Donald (also one half of the band Drexciya with James Stinson). [1] Another member is To Nhan Le Thi. [2] The group released a compilation album, Gesamtkunstwerk, in 1999, and were inactive until 2003; since then numerous albums have been released.

While the musical style and the act's image changed radically during a non-release period from 1999 to 2003, two steady characteristics are the display of a thematic affiliation with science and the obvious use of pseudonyms and the hence rumored but unconfirmed identities of the members.[ citation needed]

The group also has political influences, with the cover of Gesamtkunstwerk featuring a white hammer and sickle on a black background. In an interview, Gerald Donald stated that the album cover was intended to pay homage to socialism as an ideal political concept in theory. [3]

The act has played gigs regularly across the globe. They perform live using two Korg Triton workstations.[ citation needed]
