idEars- ideas for ears

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2020-2021.

idEars invites composers and their dear ears to hear out new ideas. In an online workshop environment participants will create with unexpected sounds, nonexistent instruments, everyday objects, wearable instruments, hidden sounds, inner sounds, spaces, stars and planets, the human, the non-human, robotics, machines, body extensions, frozen sounds, smelly instruments and other curiosities. Participants are encouraged to let their imaginations run free, and think of their environment (bed, room, apartment, building, neighborhood, road, city, countryside, the world) as their new studio/lab. We will embrace imperfections. We will welcome the importance of unpredictability. We will share and shake our knowledge and beliefs. This way we will train our imagination and connective abilities to generate new forms of being with sound, together and online. Together we will pick game-changing compositions and artworks across time, as tools for stretching and strengthening our imagination and ways of making with sound.

When Offered Spring.
