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.
用戶評價
##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##全方位地分析瞭我們今天能聽到的音樂
評分##"Simplicity is the most profound beauty" David說. 然而他自己並沒有做到這一點
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##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
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##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《everything that happens will happen today》的製作加營銷成本為315000美元，總收入為964000美元，byrne和eno各得324500美元。整本書有看頭就是business and finances章節。
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.
