MUS 28 Sonic Space and Form

An exploration of mixing, shaping, and controlling sound and form in notated, produced, recorded, and live audio. Through weekly analysis and production exercises, students learn to read and manipulate mixes, filters, phase, convolution, and more advanced spectral techniques to apply these principles to musical structure, and write for combinations of sounds with attention to timbre, range, spatialization/imaging, and production idioms. Assignments include three ‘’orchestration” assignments, ranging from elementary to complex—the aim of which is to show how composers and producers shape sound, density, and timbre to create vibrant sonic forms.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
