Through the history of music, sound art, acoustic ecology, literature, film, visual arts and performance, this course is a hands on exploration of the territory where sound meets space, sight, symbol, consciousness and the language of sound. Students will be introduced to the principles of sound art, recording, editing, sonic narrative, acoustics and meaning and the properties of different materials in the design and production of sound producing objects. Students will engage in conversations, experiments, field recording and exercises that will enhance their awareness of the sonic phenomena and the “time canvas” as a space of creation and communication. No previous knowledge of sound or music is necessary to take this course.
