This class will cover the fundamentals of digital audio composition, production, recording, arranging and sequencing, as well as the implementation of video, and reactive/interactive visualization. The class will consist of one semester-long project as well as a series of short-term assignments. Students will explore how to manipulate physical space with the creation of installation environments that will appeal to the viewer’s entire sensory experience. Using digital studio tools like ProTools, Ableton Live and other audio programs as well as motion graphic software such as Final Cut and Flash, Students will learn how to capture, manipulate, mix and optimize audio and visual material for final production. Analog and digital technologies will be explored tracing the use of sound and installation art as a sensory experience and connective instrument. We will review specific histories including the works of Maryanne Amacher, the Baschet Brothers, Alvin Lucier, Bruce Nauman, Hans Jenny, Phil Kline as well as other modern day practitioners.
