Title: This Is What It Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You Author: Ogi Ogas, Dr. Susan Rogers Narrator: Dr. Susan Rogers Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 35 minutes Release date: October 6, 2022 Genres: Mental Health & Psychology Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Despite being unable to play an instrument, Susan Rogers became an extraordinarily successful record producer - and certainly one of the most successful women record producers in history - because of her ability to listen. (She was an engineer on Prince's 'When Doves Cry', which inspired the title of the book.) This is What It Sounds Like distils a lifetime's expertise as a producer and an award-winning professor with a PhD in cognitive neuroscience, to present a new theory of listening for everyday music fans. Each person has a unique identity as a listener, she explains, determined by seven influential dimensions of musical listening: authenticity, realism, novelty, melody, lyrics, rhythm and timbre. In helping readers understand and embrace their personal musical identity, Rogers explores the different ways music appeals to our mind and body, how falling in love with a song is a lot like falling in love with a person, and what your preferred music reveals about what you need to feel whole. Told in a lively, empathetic style, with fascinating stories of encounters with musicians from Prince to Miles Davis to David Byrne, This is What it Sounds Like will change your musical life. © Dr. Susan Rogers 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022
