Shaping Sound II

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

In the second part of Shaping Sound - an introduction course to experimentation in sound, composition - we will continue to experiment with creating, manipulating, and transforming sounds. By using everyday sounds, materials, notations, and guided improvisations, we aim to create forms of interacting, listening, sonic textures, and structures. Through this process, we will question notions of sound perception and generate new forms of sonic knowledge. In a workshop environment, we will explore influential compositions and artworks from the 20th century to the present day, as starting points for discussions on form, concept, and artistic method. A larger project inspired by the works examined throughout the course can be presented as a composition, sound object, an installation, or any combination thereof. (MT)
