- Course Description: For advanced students already experienced in Electronic Music, this class focuses on creative and research techniques in Computer Music, with special emphasis in multimedia collaboration across disciplines.
- Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: This course covers the most up-date-topics in Computer Music. It is part of a proposal for a new M.M. music concentration in Electro-Acoustic Music. While the prerequisite courses give the students comprehensive knowledge about available equiptment in
- What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? A mentioned in the previous this course is a required element of a proposal for a new M.M. music concentration in Electro-Acoustic Music. There is already many graduate students looking to continue passed the current offerings as demonstrated by past enrollment in this course when it was offered as a Special Topics course (see next question.) This course will not only service Electro-Acoustic Music majors, but also (as past enrollment predicts) graduate music majors in Music Education, Music Theory, Conducting, Jazz Studies, and (especially) Composition, as well as majors in Engineering, Computer Science, and Fine Arts.
- Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times? Yes, MUS 5905 Computer Music Research
- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) Graduate Degree in Composition and/or Electronic Music (or similar discipline) with advanced professional experience in Composition, Electronic Music, and Computer Music Technology.
- Objectives: The objectives will of this course will be to:
1) Understand historical and recent trends in Electro-Acoustic Music from both the academic and creative level.
2) Apply this knowledge in both research and composition.
3) Demonstrate to others, through recordings, compositions, papers, demonstrations, etc., the use and application of Electro-Acoustic Music Techniques.
4) Understand the maintenance and administration of an Electronic Music Studio, applied through practical experience in SYCOM.
5) Study and demonstrate the pedagogy of Electronic Music.
- Learning Outcomes: Students will demonstrate an ability to compose advanced electronic compositions at a high musical level with special emphasis in the interactive music. Students will also show a comprehensive ability to research and present electronic music compositions by other composers in the field. They will also develop the ability to build, maintain, and administer and electronic music study and gain practical experience in teaching for the discipline.
