Synopsis

Dionysos Rising presents a unified theory connecting the evolution of music with cultural revolution in the West. It traces how figures from Wagner and Nietzsche to Schoenberg and Jagger influenced the shift from classical music to rock 'n' roll. The book argues that music became an instrument for cultural upheaval, culminating in the Dionysian festivals of 1969 and forever changing the world.
