MUS 101 Topics in the Repertoire of Electro-Acoustic and Computer Music

There exists a body of music that has not been widely heard because its radical style and content do not make it a commodity suitable for widespread distribution. A knowledge and understanding of this repertoire provides an important historical and musical background to recent, current, and future work, and is essential to creative work in the field. In this seminar students will systematically examine the repertoire of electro-acoustic and computer music, through its aesthetics, theories, concepts, techniques, and technologies as well as its historical and cultural contexts.
