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.

##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. ????
评分##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.
评分##本来是想简单翻两页的 没想到就这么看下去了
评分##电子化让现在做音乐更加灵活，门槛降低。尤其现在的流量推动（那些听了让人眼睛流泪，耳朵流血的rappers）。。电子化也导致实体的唱片店会越来越难存活，但是创作者，乐队更自由，书里举了广电总局2007年跳出EMI，自己单独发唱片的例子。。录音方式的变化也改变了音乐创作的方式以及呈现出的效果的不同。。。很好的音乐工业的科普书，当然最后还讲了音乐和人类身心的关系，以及音乐在整个社会发展中发挥的作用。。
评分##我觉得也可以叫《大卫拜恩自传》。后半部分关于古典乐/high art/精英主义/流行乐的思考很好
评分##全方位地分析了我们今天能听到的音乐
评分《everything that happens will happen today》的制作加营销成本为315000美元，总收入为964000美元，byrne和eno各得324500美元。整本书有看头就是business and finances章节。
评分##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。
评分##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.
