Description

This course introduces sound production techniques, basic acoustics, and fundamental listening skills that can be incorporated into many studio practices, including installation, performance, cinema, new media, and others.

The focus is on sound production tools, techniques, and skills that are readily available to the individual without the need for specialized facilities.
The course is skills-based and not historical or theoretical. Readings will include information on basic acoustics, sound production tools and techniques, Pauline Oliveros's 'Deep Listening' exercises, and fundamentals of auditory perception.
