Description

Sound Installation and Soundscape is an elective course in which you will focus on the conception, capture and composition of sound structures that engage with space, objects and scenarios in installation and performative contexts. In this course you will examine contextual examples and theories of sound in a listening and discussion program that relates to the relocation and alteration of sound structures within various creative contexts. You will also experiment with real-time, generated and interactive sound practices and concepts as part of general class exercises in various locations, in order to produce both stand-alone soundscapes and sound components for other mediums such as sculpture, media installation, performance and interactive scenarios.

Assessment requires the production of a soundscape that transforms an existing space or location, plus development of an audio component for a multimedia work, installation space or performative scenario.
