Electronic Music Composition

Electronic music composition introduces techniques for electronic music composition. These will be based on the history of electroacoustic music and both theory and analysis will be explored. A critical approach to the historical and contemporary developments in the field, socially and culturally, will be promoted throughout the course. Creative work individually and in groups will be alternated with reading and listening sessions and group discussions. Students will engage in a series of composition assignments that will be presented and discussed in class. Students are encouraged to integrate their own life experiences, imaginations and musical preferences into the work they create.
