TECH 201 - Composing Electronic Music

FC CNDP

4 credits
This course offers a thorough introduction to composing music in the electronic studio environment. Practical work includes analog and digital audio, synthesis techniques, sequencing, and sound editing. Regular short assignments reinforce facility with the standard tools of the composing studio. Two major creative projects present the opportunity to demonstrate skill proficiency. A reading and listening survey of historical and contemporary practice provides the basis for exploring analytical and critical perspectives. Designed primarily for TIMARA majors, there are typically a few seats for non-majors. Non-majors looking for an introductory TIMARA course should also consider 100-level courses and/or secondary lessons.
