Resumen del Editor
When you listen to music, do you prefer lyrics or melody? Intricate harmonies or driving rhythm? The “real” sounds of acoustic instruments or those of computerized synthesizers? Drawing from her successful career as a music producer (engineering hits like Prince’s “Purple Rain”), professor of cognitive neuroscience Susan Rogers reveals why your favorite songs move you. She explains that we each possess a unique “listener profile” based on our brain’s reaction to seven key dimensions of any record: authenticity, realism, novelty, melody, lyrics, rhythm, and timbre. Exploring this profile will deepen your connection to music, refresh your playlists, and uncover aspects of your personality. Rogers takes us behind the scenes of record-making, using her insider’s ear to illuminate the music of Prince, Frank Sinatra, Lana Del Rey, and many others. Told in a lively, inclusive style, This Is What It Sounds Like will change the way you listen to music.

Histories of music overwhelmingly suppress stories of the outsiders and rebels who created musical revolutions and instead celebrate the mainstream assimilators who borrowed innovations, diluted their impact, and disguised their sources. In Music: A Subversive History, Ted Gioia reclaims the story of music for the riffraff, insurgents, and provocateurs. Gioia tells a 4,000-year history of music as a global source of power, change, and upheaval.

For almost a century, Americans have been losing their hearts and losing their minds in an insatiable love affair with the American musical. It often begins in actors and reaches its passionate zenith when it comes time for love, marriage, and children, who will start the cycle all over again. Americans love musicals. Americans invented musicals. Americans perfected musicals. But what, exactly, is a musical?

Elton John is as much loved for his outrageous personality and witty outspokenness as for his music. Such shamelessness and sheer silliness rivals anything uttered by punk rockers, yet it is so typically Elton: honest and intemperate. Tragedy and heartbreak have played a large part in his life. Behind the parties, the hedonism, the lavish stage costumes, and silly glasses lies a more somber story. Between disputes with managers, legal wranglings, public breakups, and divorce, John has been faced with serious health problems and drug addictions.

Making sense of sound is one of the hardest jobs we ask our brains to do. In Of Sound Mind, Nina Kraus examines the partnership of sound and brain, showing for the first time that the processing of sound drives many of the brain's core functions. Our hearing is always on - we can't close our ears the way we close our eyes - and yet we can ignore sounds that are unimportant. We don't just hear; we engage with sounds. Kraus explores what goes on in our brains when we hear a word - or a chord, or a meow, or a screech.

Historia
Making sense of sound is one of the hardest jobs we ask our brains to do. In Of Sound Mind, Nina Kraus examines the partnership of sound and brain, showing for the first time that the processing of sound drives many of the brain's core functions. Our hearing is always on - we can't close our ears the way we close our eyes - and yet we can ignore sounds that are unimportant. We don't just hear; we engage with sounds. Kraus explores what goes on in our brains when we hear a word - or a chord, or a meow, or a screech.

With more than 90 million records sold and eight Grammy Awards throughout its 40-year history, Earth, Wind & Fire has staked its claim as one of the most successful, influential, and beloved acts in music history. Now, for the first time, its dynamic lead singer, Philip Bailey, chronicles the group's meteoric rise to stardom and his own professional and spiritual journey. Never before had a musical act crossed multiple styles and genres with a quixotic blend of astrology, universalism, and Egyptology as Earth, Wind & Fire (EWF) did when it exploded into the public's conscience during the 1970s.

Why do minds exist? How did mud and stone develop into beings that can experience longing, regret, love, and compassion - beings that are aware of their own experience? Until recently, science offered few answers to these existential questions. Journey of the Mind is the first book to offer a unified account of the mind that explains how consciousness, language, the Self, and civilization emerged incrementally out of chaos.

Warning! This book takes an extra 10 hours to listen to properly, which includes going through each song as it is mentioned. This book is a life-changing examination of what music is, and how to understand the way it touches a person’s heart.

Great Listening
Rogers adeptly explains the components of listening to music. She gives you the tools to look at the music you love and understand why it effects you the way it does. The accompanying music examples are enjoyable and also help illustrate her points. Love it.

Interesting, but…
I would have preferred two books that also included short 20-30 second examples of the music she referred to. I often cannot get to a music selection as I listen to a book. She often says to pause and listen to…. But it is not often feasible

Worthwhile and highly enjoyable on many levels.
While I’m an avid listener to many different types of Music, I’m normally resistant to any scalpel attack on a piece of Art, but in this book, Susan Rogers and her Co-Author have created a real service to Lovers of Music.
“Sounds Like” dissects the aesthetic and musical components of Musical works helping the Reader focus on the effect listening to Music has on the Brain. There’s nothing particularly revolutionary about this analysis but Rogers and Ogas sprinkle it with anecdotes about the making of each piece or the Artist and Culture creating it that maintains our interest.
They also set the scene by addressing the changing technology that affected the way the song was written and recorded. This perspective available to an experienced Producer is not something even dedicated Music listeners hardly ever have access to. Add to this the Author’s Neuroscience background allowing her to explore the Brain’s processing of Melody, Lyrics and Rhythm, etc.
Authenticity, Realism, Novelty,
Melody, Lyric, Rhythm, Timbre?
I’m not sure I’ve figured out my Listening Profile, but this melange of broad Musical Knowledge, Production Technology, and Brain Operation makes this book a valuable addition to any listener’s Library. The Form & Function Chapter alone is worth the price of admission as it lays open the methodology employed by real life producers of the recordings we have all listened to. “Sounds Like”overcame my initial skepticism to rate it Four Stars. ****
