I CAN WRITE A SUMMARY AND MY PERSONAL REACTION TO THE VIDEO 'HOW ARCHITECTURE HELPED MUSIC EVOLVE'''


 
In this video, David Byrne presents his ideas on the interrelationship between music and architecture. David Byrne has played in many nice places like the Disney hall and places like that. They have been very exciting, but sometimes those halls didn't seem suited to the music he had made.

He thinks that he wrote his songs for specific rooms.
Furthermore, he explained how the nature of the romantic words could make the songs better.
Most of the Republican songs that we know have a big part of its roots in West Africa.                                                                         
Besides, he mentioned that in Africa, the instruments, the intricate rhythms, the setting, and the contest are all perfect. So, the music works perfectly.

 
Carnegie hall became popular and the halls got bigger Carnegie hall’s fair size and it is larger than some of the other symphony halls.
Because of the reservation in those rooms like Carnegie hall, the music had to be a little less with making a little more textural.
Jazz band started to improvise new melodies and a new form of music was born. This band played on riverboats and clubs.
Thomas Frank assumed that if voters hear something that sounds sincere and is more passionate, is more authentic. So, if somebody can fake sincerity, if they can fake passion, they stand a better chance.
 
MY PERSONAL REACTION
 
Maybe, people who are interested in music could enjoy this speech given by David Byrne. However, this video seems to me so nice. I agree with him when he says that a lot of songs are created for a particular context, specifically clubs, dancing, and social music events. Furthermore, creativity is what we need if we want to compose good songs for a specific place that we have in mind.
