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.
##David Byrne 這纔叫纔華橫溢呀。
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《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##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##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##David Byrne原來這麼學術的。。
評分##新知識領域打卡——David Byrne談論音樂作為一種産品如何受到媒介、場地等等影響,技術和市場又如何塑造瞭今天的音樂産業。他行文風格很輕快,結閤瞭很多自己和樂隊的故事來講,讀起來挺愉快的,但是覺得題目有點誤導性,我還以為會有更多關於樂理方麵的內容呢。
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##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。
