David Byrne discusses his views on different types of
music and how they work. Byrne expresses that space, platform, and software is
what makes the music or art. Percussive music carries well outdoors. “Folk song
style and culture” the instruments people use for this style of music were
derived from easily available local materials, and it was convenience that
determined the nature of music. This form of music fits the place where it
heard sonically and structurally. Western music in the middle Ages were performed in
these stone-walled Gothic cathedrals. Western medieval
music was harmonically simple because composers hadn't yet evolved the use of
complex harmonies. Jazz music was a type of popular music
and was played in bars, funerals, joints and whorehouses where dancing was going
on. Jazz solos was a pragmatic way of slowing a problem that had emerged. Jazz have
evolved into a kind of classical music. Classical music did not only change venues
but also the behavior of the audiences as well. Audiences were expected to be
quiet. With this music composers know that every detail would be heard. Quiet pieces
could also be written. Recorded music change the nature of places where music
was heard. People began listening to music either on radio or phonographs.
