具体描述
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.

##草草读过，涉及到的音乐媒介、发展历史和商业运作部分都不熟悉，暂时不会继续阅读了。

评分##听了一天他和他的乐队，再加上这本书，我彻底认为他是一个无趣又严肃的正经人了，说他有意思和有趣的人有大量重复他的歌并且阅读这本书不?
评分##David Byrne 这才叫才华横溢呀。
评分##全方位地分析了我们今天能听到的音乐
评分##总觉得他这么有意思的人，应该写出更有意思的东西
评分##关于音乐讲了很多很杂挺有意思的东西，从开篇讲音乐的演奏场馆和传播媒介如何影响和限制音乐形式，到后来讲录音技术的发展及其影响，业界的商业运作，音乐对道德和社会的影响，为何应该普及注重演奏和创作（而非被动消费）的音乐教育，最后一章还试着从历史、形而上学和神经科学的不同角度探讨音乐的起源和本质。作者还讲了自己作为音乐家的很多经历，但因为我对欧美流行乐不熟感觉缺少了很多关键的context不明不白的
评分##我觉得也可以叫《大卫拜恩自传》。后半部分关于古典乐/high art/精英主义/流行乐的思考很好
评分##总觉得他这么有意思的人，应该写出更有意思的东西
