The speed of sound : breaking the barriers between music and technology

Dolby, Thomas2018
Book
Thomas Dolby is a five-time Grammy nominee, whose 'She Blinded Me With Science' reached number 5 on the US Billboard charts in 1982, appeared in 'Breaking Bad', and was even covered by The Muppets. Based on his meticulous notes and journals, 'The Speed of Sound' chronicles Dolby's life in the music business during the 80s; in Silicon Valley through the 90s, and at the forefront of the mobile phone revolution around the turn of the millennium - it was Dolby who created the synthesizer installed today on most mobile phones.
