Krátky popis
A legendary record producer-turned-brain scientist explains why you
fall in love with music.This Is What It Sounds Like is a journey
into the science and soul of music that reveals the secrets of why
your favourite songs move you. But it's also a story of a musical
trailblazer who began as a humble audio tech in Los Angeles to
became Prince's chief engineer for Purple Rain, and then create
other No. 1 hits as one of the most successful female record
producers of all time.Now an award-winning professor of cognitive
neuroscience, Susan Rogers leads readers to musical
self-awareness.She explains that we each possess a unique 'listener
profile' based on our brain's natural response to seven key
dimensions of any song. Are you someone who prefers lyrics or
melody? Do you like music 'above the neck' (intellectually
stimulating), or 'below the neck' (instinctual and rhythmic)?
Whether your taste is esoteric or mainstream, Rogers guides readers
to recognize their musical personality, and offers language to
describe one's own unique taste. Like most of us, Rogers is not a
musician, but she shows that all of us can be musical - simply by
being an active, passionate listener.While exploring the science of
music and the brain, Rogers also takes us behind the scenes of
record-making, using her insider's ear to illuminate the music of
Prince, Frank Sinatra, Kanye West, Lana Del Rey, and many
others.She shares records that changed her life, contrasts them
with those that appeal to her co-author and students, and
encourages you to think about the records that define your own
identity.Lively, inclusive and revelatory, This Is What It Sounds
Like will refresh your playlists, deepen your connection to your
favourite artists, and change the way you listen to music.
