Electronic Studio Resources II introduces you to live electronic composition and software design using Max, as well as additional sound processing and synthesis capabilities. We continue our survey of representative electronic music with a focus on pieces for acoustic instruments and electronics, and we explore the history of the electronic medium. We also look at the exciting possibilities afforded by data-driven instruments (devices that send a data stream for interpretation and sound rendering by a computer). You compose a piece for instrument and live electronics and present it in a public concert. Then you create an experimental data-driven piece and make a video of you performing it.
There is one group class on Tuesdays (11:10 am – 12:25 pm). Tutorial sessions of 3 people meet during 50-minute sessions that we schedule during the first group meeting. We offer this course for 3 credit hours every spring semester.
