When you listen to music, do you prefer lyrics or melody? Intricate harmonies or driving rhythm? The "real" sounds of acoustic instruments or those of computerized synthesizers? Drawing from her successful career as a music producer (engineering hits like Prince's "Purple Rain"), professor of cognitive neuroscience Susan Rogers reveals why your favorite songs move you. She explains that we each possess a unique "listener profile" based on our brain's reaction to seven key dimensions of any record: authenticity, realism, novelty, melody, lyrics, rhythm, and timbre. Exploring this profile will deepen your connection to music, refresh your playlists, and uncover aspects of your personality. Rogers takes us behind the scenes of record-making, using her insider's ear to illuminate the music of Prince, Frank Sinatra, Lana Del Rey, and many others. Told in a lively, inclusive style, This Is What It Sounds Like will change the way you listen to music.
