Byrne sees music as part of a larger, almost Darwinian pattern of adaptations and responses to its cultural and physical context. ![]() ![]() In it he explores how profoundly music is shaped by its time and place, and he explains how the advent of recording technology in the twentieth century forever changed our relationship to playing, performing, and listening to music.Īcting as historian and anthropologist, raconteur and social scientist, he searches for patterns - and shows how those patterns have affected his own work over the years with Talking Heads and his many collaborators, from Brian Eno to Caetano Veloso.

My favorite books have a headlong quality, a sense that the author was having fun, saying “fuck it” at some point in the process and letting go of the idea of controlling an imagined audience’s reaction. I am struggling to think of what the recent books I’ve truly loved have in common, because in most ways they are all so different, and the only way I can think of to describe it is “aliveness.” So many books are perfectly good but not alive-they are skillfully made, are entertaining or edifying, serve a purpose (in the author’s career at least). Writing in this way would mean taking the risk that some books, even good ones, would remain unwritten. We should write only what has to be written and what can be written only now that is about life as we live it now, and we should write novels that have to be novels and could never exist as memoir or another literary genre, let alone film or television. There is no formula for that, nothing in particular that one should risk but it probably involves risking everything, courting humiliation, being open to being misunderstood, and telling the truth. I want to be physically stunned, physically immobilized by language. I want to read more novels that make me feel like the end of The Copenhagen Trilogy-which is not a novel-did: shaking, sputtering, like I had just (barely) survived a car accident. ![]() |
