Description: "How Music Works" is David Byrne’s remarkable celebration of the subject he's spent a lifetime thinking about. The writer, known widely for his role in the group Talking Heads, explores how music is shaped by its time and place. He explains how the advent of 20th Century changed our relationship to playing, performing, and listening to music. Equal parts historian, anthropologist, raconteur and social scientist, he searches for patterns and shows how those patterns have affected his own work with Talking Heads and his many collaborators "How Music Works" is a joyous adventure and an impassioned argument about the power of music’s in our lives.
