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##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.
评分##从业日志专栏或课堂讲稿即视,并非从业指南,适合有兴趣了解行业幕后的读者,个人经历这趴也算是倾囊分享,所以会显得讲述方式有点冗复。跳阅了后几章,business 的章节也比较语重心长,先到这里,以后再读。
评分##新知识领域打卡——David Byrne谈论音乐作为一种产品如何受到媒介、场地等等影响,技术和市场又如何塑造了今天的音乐产业。他行文风格很轻快,结合了很多自己和乐队的故事来讲,读起来挺愉快的,但是觉得题目有点误导性,我还以为会有更多关于乐理方面的内容呢。
评分##David Byrne 这才叫才华横溢呀。
评分##电子化让现在做音乐更加灵活,门槛降低。尤其现在的流量推动(那些听了让人眼睛流泪,耳朵流血的rappers)。。电子化也导致实体的唱片店会越来越难存活,但是创作者,乐队更自由,书里举了广电总局2007年跳出EMI,自己单独发唱片的例子。。录音方式的变化也改变了音乐创作的方式以及呈现出的效果的不同。。。很好的音乐工业的科普书,当然最后还讲了音乐和人类身心的关系,以及音乐在整个社会发展中发挥的作用。。

评分##David Byrne原来这么学术的。。
