How Music Works

David Byrne’s "How Music Works" offers an insightful exploration of the musical art form, examining its origins and the various influences—acoustical, economic, social, and technological—that shape it. Combining social history, personal reflection, and industry insights, the book delves into how music impacts the human experience and the ways we create, share, and enjoy it.
