Experimental and Avant-Garde Electronic Composition
Offered - Fall, Spring, Summer
Course number - EP-461
This course explores an expansive set of historically innovative academic works, which students translate into cutting-edge commercial approaches to composition and production. The student will compose a graduate school application portfolio of modal, serial, atonal and microtonal audio art based on and inspired by the analysis of masterworks in the following genres: ambient, minimal, glitch, sound object, soundscape, and sound collage. Through listening, modeling, and formal musical analysis of both alternative pop and mainstream acousmatic masterworks, each student comes to better understand the creative process and their unique personal creative process; and along the way discovers and cultivates a more personal and original musical voice.
