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.
