Course Aims

Sound is a key medium for our multisensorial experience of the environment. This course focusses on the design of sound in space "soundscape composition, virtual sonic environments, multichannel installation" as founded in the human perception of spatial sound. We study room acoustics and psychoacoustics, develop skills in a digital audio workflow for composition and production, and explore audio-based narratives and immersive acoustic environments. Course progress depends on developing theoretical knowledge in parallel with confidence in handling audio hardware and software tools for recording, editing, transforming, mastering, rendering, and reproducing sound. Through individual and group-based projects, we develop our sonic imagination and ability for artistic expression, within sound and other time-based media. We complete two creative projects in the course: first, an audio story mixed in stereo, then, a multichannel sound installation in a large physical space. The overall goal is to Design Novel Artworks in a Laboratory for Sonic Investigation.
