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.
##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##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##新知識領域打卡——David Byrne談論音樂作為一種産品如何受到媒介、場地等等影響,技術和市場又如何塑造瞭今天的音樂産業。他行文風格很輕快,結閤瞭很多自己和樂隊的故事來講,讀起來挺愉快的,但是覺得題目有點誤導性,我還以為會有更多關於樂理方麵的內容呢。
