music technology and theory

In Advanced Electronics in Music II students will continue their work in the music technology labs, focusing on digital techniques for generating and processing musical information.  Students will work extensively with Max/MSP, a visual programming environment, to develop algorithms and generative processes for creating music.  Students will learn how musical ideas can be expressed using numbers, simple math, and logic.  In addition, students will develop their own digital instruments and audio effects while gaining a foundation in digital signal processing. Students entering this course are expected to have some foundation in music and/or music technology, either through the “Introduction to Electronics in Music” courses or equivalent experience.  Preference is given to students continuing from the fall quarter of “Advanced Electronics in Music I.”  Please contact the instructor for a course application.
