"This journey into the heart of music examines how the records we love speak to us in such personal and profound ways. We seldom think about how we form our musical taste. But those preferences profoundly affect who we are. Our favorite records can match or change a mood, synchronize our body to a groove, offer advice or inspiration, reawaken memories, help us daydream, keep us company when we're alone, and broadcast our social identity when we're with others. In this mind-expanding book, trailblazing record producer Susan Rogers, writing with fellow neuroscientist Ogi Ogas, combines behind-the-scenes studio anecdotes with the science of music in the brain to guide us on an exploration of our musical identities. This Is What It Sounds Like will refresh your playlists, change the way you listen to your favorite artists, and offers a powerful, meaningful way to connect with yourself--and others--through music."-- from cover.
