Sean Nye: Music-Machines, Gebunden

Klappentext

In The Music-Machines, author Sean Nye traces the distinct American reception and interpretation of German electronic music from the 1950s to the 2000s. Covering a series of crucial historical moments, The Music-Machines provides both a new and alternate history of the extraordinary impact that electronic music from Germany had in the United States.

Exploring this cultural dynamic, Nye demonstrates the ultimate intertwining of America's popular music with the Cold War history of West Germany and the post-1989 history of the Berlin Republic. In this way, The Music Machines sets the frame not only for the study of German electronic music, but the ways in which this electronic turn emerged in American perceptions of German identity.
