Summary:
"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 favorite 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 (including Barenaked Ladies' 'One Week') 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 coauthor and students, and encourages you to think
about
the records that define your own identity. Told in a lively and inclusive style, This Is
What
It
Sounds
Like
will refresh your playlists, deepen your connection to your favorite artists, and change the way you listen to
music
