How Music Works

How Music Works is David Byrne’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—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.

Amazon Best Books of the Month, September 2012: It’s no surprise that David Byrne knows his music. As the creative force behind Talking Heads and many solo and collaborative ventures, he’s been writing, playing, and recording music for decades. What is surprising is how well his voice translates to the page. In this wide-ranging, occasionally autobiographical analysis of the evolution and inner workings of the music industry, Byrne explores his own deep curiosity about the “patterns in how music is written, recorded, distributed, and received.” He is an opinionated and well-educated tour guide, and the resulting essays–on topics from rockers’ clothes to the role of the turntable, concert stages to recording studios–will give you an entirely new perspective on the complex journey a song takes from conception to your iPod. –Neal Thompson

I can see where I changed my playlist algorithm,

and started using a whitelisted-subset (‘changerrecent’),

at which point playlist management really takes off.

This was around March, 2006.

Up to that point, it was a 9000 song shuffle (‘changer’), so the

graph is all thin slivers. The first large slivers emerge after we

started doing ChangerRecent, a smaller subset (1000 vs 9000).

Then, certain bands taper off and stop — because we started doing

ChangerRecentToLearnOnly. As songs were learned, they were

removed from the playlist. Catchier bands taper off sooner, thus

you can see, for example, King Missile tapering off by August of

2007 — way before completely un-catchy Ratos De Parao, which

took until November of 2007.

Our first completed CRTL (ChangerRecentToLearn) was 1000

songs, and took ~6 months (May->November) to complete.

Notice Ratos De Paroa at the bottom. This was the VERY LAST

BAND in our ToLearn playlist — the least catchy — possibly the worst

music in the playlist. Thus, at the very end, this was all that remained

for a good week until we learned the final songs. Makes it look more

important than it is. (August-October 2007.)

New music was put in once R.D.P. was learned — but we kept

the ToLearn playlist in the 0-150 song range — never going up

to 1000 like the first time. That is, we keep up with the new music

nowadays, and never get 1000 behind.

Thus, on the right of the graph, you now see larger, consolidated

blocks of fewer bands. This represents the transformation in how

we listen to music.

After that, there were about 10 concerts in 5 months, so the

decision of what new music to add was based on which bands

we were about to see in concert — Ozzy Osbourne, Chemlab,

Ween, Gwar, They Might Be Giants, Ministry, etc.

As you can see at the very right of the graph, Ministry is taking

over our playlists, as we prepare for the March Ministry concert.

Ministry now represents about 95% of music listened to in the

past 2 weeks.
