I'm not here to change your mind about Dusty Springfield, Shostakovich, Tupac Shakur, or synthpop. I'm here to change your mind about your mind.
There are countless books on music with much analysis given to musicians, bands, eras, and/or genres. But rarely does a book delve into what's going on inside us when we listen.
Michel Faber explores two big questions: how we listen to music and why we listen to music. To answer these, he considers biology, age, illness, the notion of "cool," commerce, the dichotomy between "good" and "bad" taste, and, through extensive interviews with musicians, unlocks some surprising answers.
From the award-winning author of The Crimson Petal and the White and Under the Skin, this curious and celebratory book reflects Michel Faber's lifelong obsession with music of all kinds. Listen will change your relationship with the heard world.
