- www.ted.com As his career grew, David Byrne went from playing CBGB to Carnegie Hall. He asks: Does the venue make the music? From outdoor drumming to Wagnerian operas to arena rock, he explores how context has pushed musical innovation.

12:08 "HOW DID I GET HERE?"
You read my mind.
That's something that puts me off being a lyricist.
Being haunted for life by catchphrases.
@@beingsshepherd stop making sense
I was thinking that too
I could happily listen to David Byrne talk about architecture and birds for the rest of my life.

I don't know if Mr.Byrne reads any of these ramblings. But I- just some random internet person - would like to thank you for your contributions to the music industry in group and solo. Thank you good Sir for all your time devoted towards what seems to be a dying art form. You keep the gears turning in young minds , old minds and so on. Thank you.
As a musician I really love conversations about music. It would be fun to sit down with David Byrne, have drinks and geek out on music.
at 12:08, I was hoping he would follow that up with, "how did i get here?"
absolutely amazingly, sooo intelligent. I never have thought of music in the way he describes. 50 yrs. old and still learning something new everyday.
It is so nice to see how much David has grown from the early years. He used to be socially awkward and extremely shy, and now he seems very comfortable, well-versed and extremely passionate in his talk. When I saw this video I thought that this is going to be boring, but I was very pleasantly surprised and very interested in what he had to say. I never gave much thought about this subject until I heard this talk and it really makes a lot of sense. I'm very glad that I clicked on this video and I learned a lot.
He cites all that in his excellent book "How Music Works." Im halfway through it now and it's excellent.
Always insightful, always informative, always innovative and always entertaining. That is David Byrne
what's with the tiny suit?
Perspective, m'lad. Perspective.
his heads just big lmao
Make up for the giant suit he use to wear
@@juicedawell2402 he wore the big suit because he thought his head was big lol
"I Don't Always Watch TV... But When I Do, I Prefer TED & The Most Excellent David Byrne... Stay Thirsty, My Friends"
my dad constantly watched "stop making sense" in concert
I always loved the huge over sized suit he wore :D
I'm listening to "How Music Works" books on tape 2.0. Terrific reader, sounds much like David, a little less exclamatory maybe, but certainly one of the best readings and thus consistent with best books of the year, along with Mivchael Lewis. It inspired me to plug my old Gibson J160-e into a loop station I purchased many years ago in Oakland next door to a cannabis club. My own ambient music...my own venue. Another True Story.
An interesting discussion from Talking Heads, David Byrne, about the connection between music and architecture. Makes you wonder where music will go to next, maybe it will become more interactive and become highly personalised.
That was exactly the point he was aiming for
I think he made his point quite clearly and with his usual verve and panache.
Greatest TEDTalk ever! He synthesized the visuals and audio with his speech so masterfully.
I love David Byrne, since the last 70's ;-), and this lesson about architecture (or context) and music is a great lesson, a lectio magistralis! (y)
This is an incredible lecture. :)
Did he just took a jab at U2...? man I love David so fucking much
Yeah the guy is a genius
wow, these pros take note of every little things, architecture and music
Excellent. This is something musicians - especially amplified singers - deal with constantly. I'm teaching music appreciation and history of rock and roll in the fall, and I will definitely be using this clip as a springboard for other assignments.
very intrigued by this lecture
He mentioned Tootsie's! *heart flutter* (One of the few Nashvegas spots I actually miss.) And everything else he "mentions" is badass, too.
G O V E R N M E N T M A N
Just look at how his eyes flash and dart around - relentlessly!! Imagine trying to sneak a peek at your phone - he'd see you straight away! Anyway, I agree, what a wicked lecture. PS, book is brilliant too.
Great video. I liked that he tried to tie it in, although a little bit vague, to concepts of evolution and adaptation in the end. It would actually have been interesting he spent more time showing the more specific similarities between musical creation and adaptation to architectural design.
In the end, he nicely de-mystifies the process of musical creation. He shows that it's not magical inspiration but a co-existence between inspiration and adaptation and almost a form of compromise.
this is just perfect
and i have watched a lot of Ted talks
I would say that the music comes first, then the venues follow suit. It's cool though how David Byrne brought up this connection between architecture and music, and he's always interesting to listen to.
definitely one on the most unique ideas I've seen on TED I loved it. Then again, although I love music and play a lot of guitar, I have studied next to nothing to do with in depth musical theory so maybe it is blindingly obvious. Had to add "music's only a theory not a fact you cant teach me that!!!"
Agreed. Great lecture. Im not "Catholic" but do go for the double artistry experience. Beautiful paintings on walls and ceiling and the acoustics are amazing :) -A
Knowledge that extends the prospect of seeing.
very well put...
2:14 he asked himself well how did I get here?
great insight into the contexts and form of music
loved that! as a musician it seem especially telling. very cool.
Great Book!! Great Band!
LOL... at 2:08 "So I asked myself".....aaannd the song started playing in my head.
Tiny lil correction: The picture of Wagner's opera house isn't actually the one Wagner designed himself. It's a picture of the Bayreuth opera house, where he conducted a couple of times, before his own "Festspielhaus" was constructed. The Festspielhaus is much less grandious in interior design than the opera house shown in the pic.
Огромное спасибо за перевод
Interesting idea :) I like the inclusion of the walkman/mp3 player.
@cireyar Well expressed sir! I respect your input.
Nice to see he's still got that 'wild' glint in his eye ;-)
This is awesome! Thanks ted
Great talk, thanks!
I enjoyed this talk.
This man is brilliant.
very insightful !
did anyone notice how much his head shakes from side to side ?
Loooool I thought that at 9:55 it was a pan of the audience and someone had been patiently waiting to get a question answered (haha good luck buddy)
....genius if ever there was.
@leconfidant Thanks for suggesting that album - I just picked it up and gave it a quick listen. I won't say it's my new fave but it's certainly provocative. I thought I heard hints of everything from New Wave to Yoko Kanno... I wonder how many artists this album influenced! Speaking of which, you might like Downtime by the Kleptones - it's a little less ambient, but similar in tone and full of interesting samples.
He talks about this in his book, How Music Works
so he got me looking at the wall of the room I'm sitting in, thinking about the color of paint, can I do something with that color artistically?
wonderful!
Brilliant insight by David Byrne.
Very interesting!
i think the conclusion should be - music genre and type is born inside a venue and venues are suited to fit an already born style of music. For example, acoustically speaking only - The organ was born in a church as it was an instrument that relied on high reverberation times (6-10secs) - churches then continued to be built to suit organs.
12:08 "And you may ask yourself...." 😄
A thought provoking point of view.
Love it
Apart from the intelligent content about architecture, the part about U2 stadium rock is just so funny...
"I'm an ordinary guy / Burning down the House"
As Byrne once wrote about Architecture and Music.
The ending wasn’t really that hard to follow. I picked up on the comparison pretty quickly which was much like musicians, birds adapt the sounds of their calls to fit best with their environment.
@LokiClock
Have you watched the TEDtalk by Benjamin Zander. THAT was a profound music talk.
This is so interesting. But I think perhaps the instrument that the artist has at his disposal is even more important than the context within which the music is being created. As determining a factor as the context it, the tool(s) being used are decidedly more so.
Very interesting ideas
@whitelark87 the composer is thomas tallis, and the piece is 'spem in alium,' a motet for 40 voices, which he composed around 1570 or so. isn't it stunning?
Excellent talk: so right and fun to watch. The "conclusion" was nonsense, unfortunately. I was hoping that Byrne would say something about music, and about what kind of architecture comes next, or at least how to bring dynamic range back to music... oh well.
fascinating guy
extremely fascinating... amen
Genius!
Christopher Small must be read and quoted for this matter
Does anybody know the name of the composer and/or piece that plays during the gothic cathedral stint? [3:13] It is glorious and haunting... I'd like to give it to my iPod as a present.
@pinkled Thanks so much!
very interesting
David Byrne is the man... maybe in music more than TedTalking, but still the man. I'm surprised he didn't talk about the project he did that turned an old building into a musical instrument: watch?v=M1D30gS7Z8U
very interesting...
He playing Lil' Jon's Who U Wit? was eay more unexpected than comparing it to the birds singing at the end.
Oh my gosh same here.
Bloody David Byrne pops up after 20 years, and in a few short sentences, completely messes with everyones head.
@TheEnDBG I did not and still do not believe that David Byrne was hating on car audio. He expressed a personal opinion on possibly not liking the music but each to his own and I think that was his attitude. If you are also referring to the photos that he used then you should also notice that he used that kind of thing in other places in his talk. It is called humor and it is funny. Odd thing is that I think he, like you, also loves music.
"encore" after all, comes from the word "ancora" which means simply "again"
yes
What's the name of the Bach piece at 3:52 ?
Passion built the vessel too.
I practically live in concert halls. Maybe that's why my music sounds the way it does.
David Byrne is my musical uncle Rik, and I am Morty tagging along for the wild ride
Total Geek.... 😎👍
Can someone tell me name of the song at 0:35?
@lordkatakos
It was solid for the first 3 quarters of the talk, but he got a little flaky toward the end by bringing up an overly broad topic that didn't quite relate - politicians faking sincerity. I still faved this one.
Does anyone have a list of all the songs?
I really enjoyed the musical examples that he provides. Does anyone know what the pieces he uses are?
MathiasTheGreatAvngr Shazam it?
MathiasTheGreatAvngr (Not sure if someone has told you) If you turn on the captions while the music was playing, it says it there :)
@arkhangelsk ohh, it is. thanks so much! this is incredibly helpful. I'm so glad someone knew the name of the piece!
That's not the Bayreuth Festspielhaus at 05:00...
This was like having a hero teach a college course....haha....it was very True Stories 20 years later....What's the name of that CBGB tune?
architecture
nice
Lol that's the guy who made the song that came with every new Windows XP computer.
2:24 "The concert venue of Africa"
This is peak 3am viewing. Seemingly random topic, but incredibly interesting.
Maybe he means the acoustics OF the architecture? :D
good video ..
really!!!
***** molto istruttivo. proprio una architettura del sound
@TheEnDBG I also don't think he's hating on car audio; he works together with Fatboy Slim and NASA for one thing; which is great music but also adapted to modern venues, including cars. He might not like CRUNK or BOOTY BASS (but maybe he does :)) but he certainly doesn't dislike car audio.
This title sounds as if it came straight out of a TEDtalks title generator
whats the piece from motzart at @4:17
Sonata F
@corotor12345
i didn't have a lot of room to write what i was really trying to say and kept having to reduce words hahahah but i did need to add that i don't know where your lengthy comment came from. if you re-read what i said i think you'll find that it has little to do with anything i said. i said it was music for the elite by the elite. they made it... they heard it. simple. nothing condescending.
personally, for me, culturally, that's rarely where the real action and innovation happens.
