De Rest is Lawaai. Luisteren naar de Twintigste Eeuw

The book covers so many pivotal moments in music history—I'm curious about what guided the selection process and if some stories were intentionally left out.

The way the book ties musical evolution to political and social upheaval made me think differently about the role of art in history. Was that your experience too?

The narrative style made it feel like a story rather than a history lesson. I'm wondering if this approach was a conscious choice to make the subject more accessible.
