MUS 105 Musical Systems

This course examines advanced theories of form, structure, composition, performance and interaction, and deals with their realization in functional systems for research, theoretical and artistic purposes. A special emphasis will be to bridge the gap between abstract theory and concrete implementation. Theoretical ideas covered in this class might include: computer-aided composition, non-deterministic algorithms, interaction design, perceptual modeling, artificial intelligence in music, meta-theory, bio-musical systems, and evolutionary models. Implementations might include: interactive environments, music languages, compositional software, musical instruments, learning systems, and adaptive systems.
