APST 136OC - Percussive Sound ObjectsHC CNDP 2 credits Drums, Cymbals, Cowbells, Anvils, Chimes, Xylophones: When set into vibrational motion by a stick, these objects become phenomenal musical instruments capable of making an entire room dance, energize a full orchestra, or haunt a house with the creepiest film sound effect. This course will serve as a laboratory to explore the histories, present fields of research, and future opportunities of percussive objects. Students will study how implements such as sticks, mallets, and bows can strike materials and amplify their vibrations through special resonators. Each sound experiment will be contextualized within the well- document histories of percussion as an expressive craft. This is a beginning-level course open to both Conservatory and Arts and Sciences students.
