MUS 108 Signal Process as Creative Process
This seminar is a hands-on studio course where students will explore audio processing as a path toward narrative and compositional possibilities. Over the term we will study the technical and creative dimensions of eight signal processes: Compression, Equalization, Reverb, Delay, Phasing, Distortion, Autotune and Vocoding. Through reading, listening, discussion and hands-on experimentation students will work to gain deep familiarity with the technical parameters of the operations in order to locate the somatic, psychoacoustic and poetic possibilities of each. Assignments will focus on incorporating these explorations into creative work and using the eight processes as expressive tools.
