具體描述
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.

##David Byrne原來這麼學術的。。
評分##我覺得也可以叫《大衛拜恩自傳》。後半部分關於古典樂/high art/精英主義/流行樂的思考很好
評分##籠統的讀完 感覺近期不會看音樂相關的瞭 可能等我把鍵盤玩起來之後 自己摸索瞭點東西之後再看音樂類書籍更有裨益吧
評分##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.
評分##電子化讓現在做音樂更加靈活，門檻降低。尤其現在的流量推動（那些聽瞭讓人眼睛流淚，耳朵流血的rappers）。。電子化也導緻實體的唱片店會越來越難存活，但是創作者，樂隊更自由，書裏舉瞭廣電總局2007年跳齣EMI，自己單獨發唱片的例子。。錄音方式的變化也改變瞭音樂創作的方式以及呈現齣的效果的不同。。。很好的音樂工業的科普書，當然最後還講瞭音樂和人類身心的關係，以及音樂在整個社會發展中發揮的作用。。
評分##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.
評分##從業日誌專欄或課堂講稿即視，並非從業指南，適閤有興趣瞭解行業幕後的讀者，個人經曆這趴也算是傾囊分享，所以會顯得講述方式有點冗復。跳閱瞭後幾章，business 的章節也比較語重心長，先到這裏，以後再讀。
評分##也不是不好，就確實和想象的不一樣，尷尬
評分##關於音樂講瞭很多很雜挺有意思的東西，從開篇講音樂的演奏場館和傳播媒介如何影響和限製音樂形式，到後來講錄音技術的發展及其影響，業界的商業運作，音樂對道德和社會的影響，為何應該普及注重演奏和創作（而非被動消費）的音樂教育，最後一章還試著從曆史、形而上學和神經科學的不同角度探討音樂的起源和本質。作者還講瞭自己作為音樂傢的很多經曆，但因為我對歐美流行樂不熟感覺缺少瞭很多關鍵的context不明不白的
