Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • David Byrne's incisive and enthusiastic look at the musical art form, from its very inceptions to the influences that shape it, whether acoustical, economic, social, or technological—now updated with a new chapter on digital curation.

"How Music Works is a buoyant hybrid of social history, anthropological survey, autobiography, personal philosophy, and business manual"—The Boston Globe
Utilizing his incomparable career and inspired collaborations with Talking Heads, Brian Eno, and many others, David Byrne taps deeply into his lifetime of knowledge to explore the panoptic elements of music, how it shapes the human experience, and reveals the impetus behind how we create, consume, distribute, and enjoy the songs, symphonies, and rhythms that provide the backbeat of life. Byrne's magnum opus uncovers thrilling realizations about the redemptive liberation that music brings us all.

Why not? I write music and have other books on the subject, but for $2 (or free with no rush reward credits) and with good reviews, I might as well give it a shot.
