- Description
MUTOR offers open courses and teaching materials for distance and blended learning in music technology. The repository was designed to meet the needs of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as the general public interested in questions such as “how do we perceive and process music cognitively,” “what is microtonality,” “how do we synthesize new sounds,” “how do we combine sounds with images,” “how do we move sounds in space,” “how do we track the movements and gestures of performers,” and many more. This particular course focuses on the science of music, ranging from the physics of sound generation to the cognitive abilities that allow humans to listen to music and be moved by it. The course consists of 13 units, ranging from Unit 0: Research Design and Methods to Unit 12: Music and the Body. We will explore the theoretical and empirical foundations of the science of music and also listen to a variety of examples, ranging from simple sounds to complex music.
