David Byrnes brainy, irresistible, and bestselling musical adventure - now in a handsome paperback edition
Klappentext zu „How Music Works “
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.

Rezension zu „How Music Works “
"The book [Byrne] was born to write. I could make a good case for calling this "How Art Works" or even "How Everything Works"."--Cory Doctorow, "BoingBoing""David Byrne is a brilliantly original, eccentric rock star, and he has written a book to match his protean talents."--John Rockwell, "The New York Times Book Review""Fascinating . . . It was wildly ambitious to try and turn this galaxy of theory into a readable work of scholarship, but Byrne has done it, and done it with style."--Mark Ellen, "The Guardian"
