how music works – david byrne

How Music Works by the Talking Heads frontman, David Byrne, is a super engaging deep dive into the foundational aspects of what actually makes us consider music as music, the ever-changing and subjective process of music creation, and the transcendent power that music holds within different cultures. Sprinkled in between are passionate excerpts of Byrne's music journey as part of the Talking Heads and how different music from a variety of countries has influenced his own style. The thing I appreciate about this book and most non-fiction is that you can pick it up, read a few pages and then return to it a few days or weeks later. Though the book packs a lot of information, it reads more like a personal essay than just a bunch of facts about music history being thrown at you.

Miss America by Davyn Byrne

I bought this cd a while back. Being someone who casually listened to Talking Heads but never took the time to listen to David‘s solo work, this entire album was a surprise. The best way I can describe it is those pre-911 utopian scholastic books. Get what I mean? - Davyn
