David Byrne Reihenfolge der Bücher

Světoznámý hudebník David Byrne ve své knize zkoumá, jak hluboce je hudba utvářena dobou a místem svého vzniku, a vysvětluje, jak nástup nahrávací technologie ve dvacátém století navždy změnil náš vztah k hraní, provozování a poslechu hudby. Autor v knize vystupuje jako historik a antropolog, vypravěč a sociolog, hledá zákonitosti hudební produkce a ukazuje, jak tyto zákonitosti ovlivnily jeho vlastní tvorbu v průběhu let s Talking Heads a mnoha jeho spolupracovníky, od Briana Ena po Fatboye Slima, stejně jako tvorbu avantgardních umělců osmdesátých let dvacátého století, jako byli Patti Smith, Ramones, Blondie a další. Přestože se jedná o literaturu faktu, kniha má velmi nelineární strukturu, v níž se fakta příručkového typu prolínají s prvky Byrneovy autobiografie a informacemi o hudební teorii, přičemž každá kapitola může stát i samostatně.
