The primary goal of this course is to provide an ensemble for the composition and collaborative performance of electronic music. The course will offer students the opportunity to act as researchers, composers, performers, and software developers, with focused attention on what kinds of electronic sounds can be created, how the sounds are physically controlled, and how to compose with these sounds. Experience with programming languages is not required but will be beneficial. Students must provide their own laptops. The course is designed for the Music and Audio Recording Production major but is open to all majors.
