Description

Specification

An intelligent, friendly, and charming analysis of the phenomenon of music and its human impact by David Byrne, former frontman of the band Talking Heads and a successful solo artist, offers a comprehensive understanding of the physiological, spiritual, cultural, and business aspects of music. In this incredible journey of unexpected discoveries, we move from La Scala to an African village, from the iconic New York club CBGB to a recording studio located in a former movie theater, from the office of a record company executive to a small music store. David Byrne emerges as a historian, anthropologist, sociologist, part-time memoirist, meticulous researcher, and brilliant storyteller, successfully convincing us that 'music has a geometry of beauty, and for this reason... we love it.'

Meet The Author

David Byrne was born on May 14, 1952, in the Scottish city of Dumbarton. Two years later, his parents moved to Hamilton in the Canadian province of Ontario, and then, when he was 8 or 9 years old, to the United States, to the town of Arbutus, Maryland. He spent a year at the Rhode Island School of Design, then dropped out and in 1974 formed the band Talking Heads together with two other students from that school — Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth. Later Jerry Harrison joined them. He also studied for another year at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore.
