具体描述
How Music Works is David Byrne’s remarkable and buoyant celebration of a subject he’s spent a lifetime thinking about. He explains how profoundly music is shaped by its time and place, and how the advent of recording technology forever changed our relationship to playing, performing, and listening to music. Acting as historian and anthropologist, raconteur and social scientist, he searches for patterns—and tells us how they have affected his own work over the years with Talking Heads and his many collaborators. Touching on the joy, physics, and the business of making music, he also shows how it is inextricably linked to its cultural and physical context. His range is panoptic, taking us from La Scala to African villages, from his teenage reel-to-reel recordings to his latest work in a home music studio. How Music Works is a brainy, irresistible adventure and an impassioned argument about music’s liberating, life-affirming power.
用户评价
##本来是想简单翻两页的 没想到就这么看下去了
评分##新知识领域打卡——David Byrne谈论音乐作为一种产品如何受到媒介、场地等等影响，技术和市场又如何塑造了今天的音乐产业。他行文风格很轻快，结合了很多自己和乐队的故事来讲，读起来挺愉快的，但是觉得题目有点误导性，我还以为会有更多关于乐理方面的内容呢。
评分##电子化让现在做音乐更加灵活，门槛降低。尤其现在的流量推动（那些听了让人眼睛流泪，耳朵流血的rappers）。。电子化也导致实体的唱片店会越来越难存活，但是创作者，乐队更自由，书里举了广电总局2007年跳出EMI，自己单独发唱片的例子。。录音方式的变化也改变了音乐创作的方式以及呈现出的效果的不同。。。很好的音乐工业的科普书，当然最后还讲了音乐和人类身心的关系，以及音乐在整个社会发展中发挥的作用。。
评分##The talking head David talking about participation mystique. When he confesses he was diagnosed Aspergers earlier in his career, my heart sunk a bit - no wonder I clicked with his work. We are all oddballs. ????
评分##"Simplicity is the most profound beauty" David说. 然而他自己并没有做到这一点
评分##草草读过，涉及到的音乐媒介、发展历史和商业运作部分都不熟悉，暂时不会继续阅读了。
评分##听了一天他和他的乐队，再加上这本书，我彻底认为他是一个无趣又严肃的正经人了，说他有意思和有趣的人有大量重复他的歌并且阅读这本书不?
评分##总觉得他这么有意思的人，应该写出更有意思的东西
评分##"Simplicity is the most profound beauty" David说. 然而他自己并没有做到这一点
