Description
Prerequisites: ENG 101 Eligible
In this course, students will engage in hands-on exploration of a variety of technologies (both hardware and software) utilized in music-making. Students will engage in projects designed to demystify various aspects of music creation: the properties of sound waves, analog and digital sound synthesis, sound design, MIDI technology such as sequencing, recording using a microphone, music notation, and manipulating sound samples using software. Students will be exposed to Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software, in preparation for further Music Production coursework. We will also explore the cultural impact that technology has had on music in an increasingly global society. No prior musical training is necessary, however the content of this class will be of special interest to aspiring performers and creators of music and other content.
