Abstract
This dissertation examines the reception of compositions by Pauline Oliveros, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, and La Monte Young in the long Sixties, uncovering how concepts of American whiteness and American Cold War Orientalism intersected with low-level psychological states to shape listeners' aesthetic experiences and judgements. By incorporating methods and literature from music studies and experimental psychology, this dissertation analyses interconnected cultural, musical, and psychological forces that contributed to the reception of the music and simultaneously offers a mutually-beneficial research paradigm between these disciplines
