How Music Works - David Byrne - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

How Music Works - David Byrne - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

How Music Works is David Byrne''s bestselling, buoyant celebration of a subject he has spent a lifetime thinking about. Drawing on his own work over the years with Talking Heads, Brian Eno, and his myriad collaborators - along with journeys to Wagnerian opera houses, African villages, and anywhere music exists - Byrne shows how music emerges from cultural circumstance as much as individual creativity. It is his magnum opus, and an impassioned argument about music''s liberating, life-affirming power.

From his own adolescence, when his allegiance was to punk rock, to his work as one of the essential voices of our time on music and culture at the New York Times and the New Yorker , Kelefa Sanneh has made a deep study of how our popular music unites and divides us. Distilling a career''s worth of knowledge, Sanneh explores the tribes music forms, and how its genres, shape-shifting across the years, give us a way to track larger forces and concerns.He debunks cherished myths, reappraises beloved heroes and upends familiar ideas of musical greatness, arguing that sometimes the best popular music isn''t transcendent: it expresses our grudges as well as our hopes, and is motivated by greed as well as inspiration. Throughout, race is a powerful touchstone: just as there''s always been a ''Black'' audience and a ''white'' audience (with some overlap) there is Black music and white music and a whole lot of expropriation.This is a book to shock and awe the deepest music nerd, and at the same time to work as a heady gateway drug for the uninitiated.

From the award-winning author of The Crimson Petal and the White and Under the Skin , this curious and celebratory book reflects Michel Faber''s lifelong obsession with music of all kinds. Listen will change your relationship with the heard world.
