I can write a summary and my personal reaction to the video: How architecture helped music evolve by David Byrne


          
In this video David Byrne talks about how each kind of music can fit in the  Environment or the venue
where the band its playing, and when we make music we make it thinking in a specific place to be inspired, for example, the african music, the instruments, the intricate rhythms, the way they play their music everything
fit perfectly in that setting because there is nothing that interrupt their music because they are not in room that can change the rhythms or they dont have to use amplifiers because they are playing really loud, but this music would be a mess if it would play it in a gothic cathedral but the music that is play it in the cathedral its perfect with long notes, the room improves the music, another example is the roommate bach that is not biger
than the cathedral so the music its a little more intricate and innovately. Another example it is the mozart's room or salon which is smaller so there he could write very intricate music and the venue fit exactly with the music, the other example is the scala opera, people in the audience used to drink, eat and to yell out the people in the states if they like or not the music people would tell them as an encoure not at the end of the show, they would tell them inmediately, then he talked about how the musicians started to create new rythms, and about the live music and the recorded music, finally he explained that we are like the birds, we  adapt, we sing, we can make good music if we do it with passion. 
Personal Reaction:
i agree with david Byrne because  if we make music in a venue or Environment  that is not the correct the music would not sound great even if we want to compuse a song we have to inspire  in a correct venue to make that song the best.
