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.
##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##更適閤從業者,對於想從音樂獲取靈感的我,有的時候太過於學術瞭。
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##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。
評分##David Byrne 這纔叫纔華橫溢呀。
評分##更適閤從業者,對於想從音樂獲取靈感的我,有的時候太過於學術瞭。

評分##全方位地分析瞭我們今天能聽到的音樂
