Wie Musik wirkt

With How Music Works, musician David Byrne gives readers an extraordinary look into the world of music - the mixture of music history, autobiography and manual is as versatile as the Talking Heads founder himself.

David Byrne is a pioneer of pop and always one step ahead. After all his years in the music business, he knows exactly how different music sounds in basement bars and recording studios, on African village squares and in the opera houses of the world.

But how exactly does music work and how does it work - acoustically, economically, socially and technologically?
Byrne addresses these questions in his book, a lively mixture of music history and autobiography, anthropological research and explanatory manual.
With verve and wit, he takes readers on an inspiring journey. A book for all fans of David Byrne and the Talking Heads - and for everyone who is interested in the art form of music.

Contains numerous color illustrations.
