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.

##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##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##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##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##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##總覺得他這麼有意思的人，應該寫齣更有意思的東西
評分##David Byrne原來這麼學術的。。
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.
