In 1874, a reporter traveling with a surveying party through a mountain valley in Colorado found the mutilated bodies of five men. A search began for Alfred Hammit, a drifter and the sole survivor of the ill-fated prospecting expedition, suspected of murdering the men and living off their bodies during the severe winter weather that had trapped them.
How Music Works is David Byrne's bestselling, buoyant celebration of a subject he has spent a lifetime thinking about. Drawing on his own work over the years with Talking Heads, Brian Eno, and his myriad collaborators - along with journeys to Wagnerian opera houses, African villages, and anywhere music exists - Byrne 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.
