Course Description

Summary

Often choreographers are left to produce their own sounds, whether it be the ambient sounds between gestures, or a sonic collage sampled from disparate musical fabrics. This course is an intro to technical and experimental approaches to scaffolding sound for choreographers. Topics looked at will be sampling and appropriation, effective music “cuts” in the studio, mild amplification from floor mikes to piezos, as well as more experimental approaches such as wearable sound, movement tracking, and generative sound. Class workshops will help choreographers learn these tools, and each person will work towards “scoring”, in their own way, a brief end-of-term piece.
