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.
##"Simplicity is the most profound beauty" David說. 然而他自己並沒有做到這一點
評分##聽瞭一天他和他的樂隊,再加上這本書,我徹底認為他是一個無趣又嚴肅的正經人瞭,說他有意思和有趣的人有大量重復他的歌並且閱讀這本書不?
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##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##本來是想簡單翻兩頁的 沒想到就這麼看下去瞭
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##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##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##也不是不好,就確實和想象的不一樣,尷尬
