Sound Networks

Catalog description

This graduate-level seminar explores the creative and critical underpinnings and ramifications of “networks” in mediated sound practice. We will study various extant approaches to networking, including transmission of audio signals and control information in musical ensembles and interactions with big data and corpus composition, and we will make new sonic works based on these techniques. We will also examine the institutional contexts of networks, relating to scholarly notions of liveness, community, scene, and genre. Override codes are required for enrollment, and will be distributed based on first-class attendance and questionnaire responses.
