#55 - Richard Evans Interview

from MODERN MUSICOLOGY · host modernmusicology

Richard Evans is the author of the new book Listening to the Music the Machines Make: Inventing Electronic Pop 1978-1983. This definitive book explores how krautrock, disco, glam rock, and punk inspired an electronic pop revolution and how that revolution went on to establish the foundations for hip-hop, house, and EDM, and tells the stories of the movement’s underground pioneers and its superstars: from Devo, The Normal, Telex, and Cabaret Voltaire to Gary Numan, OMD, Duran Duran, and Depeche Mode. In our interview, we learn about the earliest experiments in electronic compositions, the importance of Kraftwerk, the influence of David Bowie, the impact of "I Feel Love", and much more.  Pick up your copy of Listening to the Music the Machines Make here and learn more about Richard and his work here.  We'd love to hear your feedback on this episode!
