How Music Works

"The book [Byrne] was born to write. I could make a good case for calling this "How Art Works" or even "How Everything Works"."--Cory Doctorow, "BoingBoing""David Byrne is a brilliantly original, eccentric rock star, and he has written a book to match his protean talents."--John Rockwell, "The New York Times Book Review""Fascinating . . . It was wildly ambitious to try and turn this galaxy of theory into a readable work of scholarship, but Byrne has done it, and done it with style."--Mark Ellen, "The Guardian"
