Hearing Image, Seeing Sound

Catalog description

This course explores how composers, filmmakers, painters, and others have forged connections between sound and image, and how we might learn from them to create our own meaningful creative work. Our readings and screenings will dig deep into the geneologies of film sound, and students will create their own imaginative combinations of sound and image throughout the semester. Final projects will be screened, performed, and/or exhibited publicly at the end of the semester. Note: although there will be a few labs, students should have experience with media production of some kind, be it sonic or visual.
