David Byrne postulates that venues (clubs, chapels, arenas, cars, mp3 players) shape music instead of the other way around. You could say he’s a step short of declaring a ‘survival of the fittest’ paradigm where the music best suited to the venue is the one that becomes successful.
Strangely, it kinda makes sense a little bit…

Great TED talk, but not quite what I expected. I’ve always had this desire to build something like a digital camera’s CCD but it captures frequencies we can hear (~20-20kHz) and then transposes them to the visible range (~400-790THz). I think that would be even more interesting. :)
