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.
##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##本來是想簡單翻兩頁的 沒想到就這麼看下去瞭
評分##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. ????
評分##草草讀過,涉及到的音樂媒介、發展曆史和商業運作部分都不熟悉,暫時不會繼續閱讀瞭。

評分##David Byrne原來這麼學術的。。
評分##總覺得他這麼有意思的人,應該寫齣更有意思的東西
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##這本書不僅僅設計得漂亮,內容也非常精彩。像我這樣一個對音樂不甚感冒的人讀起來都覺得收穫巨大,書中提到技術對音樂創作和消費所帶來的影響的部分更是一針見血。
