Audio Programming and Perform

Catalog description

This course introduces principles of sound synthesis and audio programming applied to live performance. The students learn to design their own mini instruments as they explore real-time audio programming topics, including fundamentals of sound synthesis and signal processing (e.g. Additive, Subtractive, Granular, AM, FM), control protocols (e.g. OSC), patterns and event structures, live coding and performance. The semester culminates in a live public performance of original compositions for a laptop ensemble.
