How music work

smart, friendly and charming analysis of the phenomenon of music and the mechanism of its influence on a person from David Byrne, ex-leader of the Talking Heads and a successful solo artist, is an opportunity to get a comprehensive understanding of the physiological, spiritual, cultural and business aspects of music. On this incredible journey full of unexpected discoveries, we move from the La Scala opera house to an African village, from the iconic New York club CBGB to a recording studio in a former movie theater, from the office of a record company executive to a small record store. David Byrne appears before us as a historian, anthropologist, sociologist, part memoirist, meticulous researcher and brilliant storyteller, successfully convincing us that "music has the geometry of beauty, and for this reason ... we love it."
