Description

This seminar is for students who wish to learn about microtonality or extend their own practice, either as composers/creators or interpreters/improvisers. The sessions will be balanced between theoretical topics (in ELA-5) and practical/lab work (in the MFS). We shall begin with fundamentals such as the harmonic series and microtonal notations, and then develop from there by making music with our own group. Whether acoustic or electronic, students will be expected to bring their instrument to the lab sessions. This seminar is separate from, but complementary to, the Microtonal Ensemble (Olsen & Sturm).

Literature

Any instrument-specific resources on microtonal production are welcome, e.g. Die Spieltechnik des Saxophons (Weiss and Netti).
