How Music Works

How Music Works is David Byrne's bestelling, buoyant celebration of a subject he has spent a lifetime thinking about. Drawing on his work over the years with Talking Heads, Brian Eno, and 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.
