Space, Environment and Context
SONIC IMMERSION
How do you listen to languages you don't understand or to sounds you cannot place in context? Students explore different modes of listening to create their own sonic landscapes and immersive sound environments. Using the voice, field recordings, electronically generated and modified sound or a piece of paper and a pencil, sonic miniatures will be created that can stand for themselves but that also can be integrated and further explored in other projects, from 3D virtual reality to deep sea underwater worlds.

Along the way we will discuss pionieering works by composers of experimental and electronic music, such as Maryanne Amacher and Pauline Oliveros. The course includes some reading, listening, sound recording and sound editing.
