具體描述
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.

##全方位地分析瞭我們今天能聽到的音樂
##總覺得他這麼有意思的人，應該寫齣更有意思的東西
##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。
##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. 😛
##David Byrne 這纔叫纔華橫溢呀。
##籠統的讀完 感覺近期不會看音樂相關的瞭 可能等我把鍵盤玩起來之後 自己摸索瞭點東西之後再看音樂類書籍更有裨益吧
