Description

In this course, we discuss a range of texts, pieces and ideas that inform and contextualize practices of multimedia composition and performance. Each week, as a group, we analyze a short article taken from a diverse range of disciplines-sound studies, performance studies, theatre, musicology, instrument design, digital aesthetics, computer studies, AI ethics and philosophy-along with multiple examples of pieces of music, art, and performance which intesect with the themes of the article. You will learn to develop skills in analysis, theory, and proficiency in academic writing. The final assessment is a short (c. 2000 words) written assignment.
