HART 289 - History of Sound Art

Institution:

Massachusetts College of Art and Design

Subject:

Description:

What is Sound Art? Imagine mind-bending sound pieces using nothing but the echo of a space, vegetable instruments that turn into soup, a "Sound Chair" that propels you through the room, and meditations that reveal sounds in daily life that you never dreamed were there. The course will provide a solid knowledge of sound history and basic acoustic principals, and examine works by artists who have blurred traditional boundaries between music and other disciplines such as science, design, visual arts and philosophy. This is an ideal course for artists engaged in multi-media work that includes sound (i.e., video, film, animation, installation, performance art, circuit-bending) and people interested in experimental music of any genre. No previous experience with sound or music needed.
