The Doppler Effect believe that music is longitudinal waves created due to varying pressure in a substance over a given time. Their uses the theory of ‘nihilism’ to denote a common paradigm, and to eventually illustrate the meaninglessness of material sexual identity. Their music uses accentuation to suggest the use of conceptual dematerialism in the modern world to deconstruct society.
Why this name?

Do you play live?
Life is anything that can take matter from outside sources, and then use this not only to fuel itself, but also intergrate the matter such that it becomes part of itself. The Doppler Effect are live.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
What's in it for me.
