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.

##"Simplicity is the most profound beauty" David说. 然而他自己并没有做到这一点
##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.
##也不是不好，就确实和想象的不一样，尴尬
##本来是想简单翻两页的 没想到就这么看下去了
##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。
##总觉得他这么有意思的人，应该写出更有意思的东西
