EAST 365

This single semester class studies a wide variety of compositional possibilities associated with different multi-channel based concepts, techniques and technologies. All study is discussed by the students, through presentations given in class, and through compositional work in the style of the practices studied.

The class is structured on the master class/seminar format. It is made up mostly of presentations by the students in the class about the works being studied, works being completed by the class members, or topics of interest for the group. Students will be encouraged to work in a collaborative, cross-discipline and multi-cultural fashion.

The topics may include presentations on fixed media electroacoustic music compositions, sound projection techniques and multi-channel installation art, among others.
