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
##David Byrne 这才叫才华横溢呀。
评分##关于音乐讲了很多很杂挺有意思的东西，从开篇讲音乐的演奏场馆和传播媒介如何影响和限制音乐形式，到后来讲录音技术的发展及其影响，业界的商业运作，音乐对道德和社会的影响，为何应该普及注重演奏和创作（而非被动消费）的音乐教育，最后一章还试着从历史、形而上学和神经科学的不同角度探讨音乐的起源和本质。作者还讲了自己作为音乐家的很多经历，但因为我对欧美流行乐不熟感觉缺少了很多关键的context不明不白的
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##从业日志专栏或课堂讲稿即视，并非从业指南，适合有兴趣了解行业幕后的读者，个人经历这趴也算是倾囊分享，所以会显得讲述方式有点冗复。跳阅了后几章，business 的章节也比较语重心长，先到这里，以后再读。
评分《everything that happens will happen today》的制作加营销成本为315000美元，总收入为964000美元，byrne和eno各得324500美元。整本书有看头就是business and finances章节。
评分##更适合从业者，对于想从音乐获取灵感的我，有的时候太过于学术了。

评分##笼统的读完 感觉近期不会看音乐相关的了 可能等我把键盘玩起来之后 自己摸索了点东西之后再看音乐类书籍更有裨益吧
评分##I've been involved in music all my adult life. I didn't plan it that way, and it wasn't even a serious ambition at first, but that's the way it turned out.
