Revised and Updated-How Music Works is David Byrnes's 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 borne 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.
