Susan Rogers

Raamatu autor Susan Rogers, legendaarne plaadiprodutsent, kellest sai ajuteadlane, selgitab, miks inimesed armuvad muusikasse." Nii see kõlab" on teekond, mis avab muusika teaduslikke tagamaid ja hinge ning paljastab saladused, miks meielemmiklaulud meid liigutavad. See on ka lugu teerajajast, kes alustas tavalise helitehnikuna Los Angeleses, töötas end üles ja sai juhtivaks helirezhissööriks Prince'i albumi "Purple Rain" juures ning lõi seejärel ühe kõigi aegade edukaima naissoost produtsendina esikohahitte, nagu näiteks ansambli Barenaked Ladies "One Week". Kognitiivse neuroteaduse professor Susan Rogers juhatab lugejad muusikalise eneseteadlikkuseni. Ta selgitab, et meil kõigil on ainulaadne "kuulajaprofiil", mis põhineb aju loomuomasel reaktsioonil seitsmele põhimõõtmele, mis on esindatud igas laulus. Kas peame tähtsamaks laulusõnu või meloodiat? Kas eelistame "kaelast ülalpool" (intellektuaalselt stimuleeriv) või "kaelast allpool" (instinktiivne ja rütmiline) loodud muusikat? Olgu me maitse esoteeriline või laiatarbeline, Rogers aitab ära tunda oma muusikalist isiksust ja pakub vahendeid, millega suudame oma ainulaadset maitset kirjeldada. Nagu enamik meist, ei ole Rogers muusik, kuid ta näitab meile, et kõik võivad olla musikaalsed - piisab sellest, kui kuulame muusikat aktiivselt ja kirglikult. Lugejale muusika mõju ja aju tööd selgitavat teadust avades viib Rogers meid ka plaaditegemise telgitagustesse ning mõtestab oma eksperdikõrva abil lahti Prince'i, Frank Sinatra, Kanye Westi, Lana Del Rey ja paljude teiste artistide muusikat. Ta räägib salvestistest, mis muutsid ta elu, vastandab neid kaasautori ja tudengite lemmikutele ning julgustab mõtlema lugudest, mis on meie identiteedi jaoks määravad. Raamatu haarav ja lugejat kaasav stiil värskendab meie playlist'e, tugevdab sidet lemmikartistidega ja muudab moodust, kuidas muusikat kuulame.

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, rose to become Prince's chief engineer for Purple Rain, and then created 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.
