This course aims to provide students a high degree of awareness of the creative and expressive role of sound in various forms and mediums of Contemporary Art, New Media, Performing Arts, Music, Sonic Arts, and Installations. The course is designed for two semesters where the first semester is mainly focused around sound creation and transformation in three mediums: air, electric and digital, while the second semester is more oriented towards sound design and synthesis methods. After completion, students are expected to gain creative flexibility and apply their new skills in musical, performing, installations, interactive and New Media applications.
During the two semesters lectures will include notions of acoustics, psychoacoustics, critical listening, spatial sound, digital signal processing, musical discourse, editing and mixing, sonification and interactive sound design.
