Points of Focus in 20th-Century Music

Electronic Music Studio: Focusing on using the electronic music studio as a central hub for composition and recording with a particular emphasis on controlling hardware instruments and devices. The course first focuses on different electronic instruments and "outboard" gear such as synthesizer (such as our newly acquired Buchla 200e and eurorack modular synth instruments), drum machines, samplers and guitar pedals. Each week we study an instrument and find a way to have it in dialogue with the studio and with other instruments.
