IGAME 2800 Sound in Art
Sound is an important medium with its own characteristics, qualities, and attributes. It can be utilized in a variety of contexts such as in the creation of pieces for listening, and in interdisciplinary work combined with other media. This course sets a conceptual, technical, and historical foundation for the understanding and use of sound as a medium in art. Students will be introduced to a variety of sound-art concepts through a survey of artist works, writings, and topics, and explore these ideas through the production of creative studio projects. Students will develop a strong technical toolset, utilizing audio hardware such as portable recorders and microphones, editing sound using digital audio software, and creatively manipulating audio with signal-processing techniques to create finished recordings and audio mixes.
