MUSI 145 - Electronic Music

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Music

Description:

This course designed to provide those students who are inexperienced in the studio but musically inclined and familiar with some of the resources and skills used in various aspects of electronic studio music production. (Students should be able to work out simple known melodies by ear and write simple original tunes before taking this course.) Focus will be on the basics of the equipment necessary for the projects involved - MIDI systems, sampling and synthesizer keyboards and associated gear. It is designed to meet the needs of talented curious students who want to get direct feedback on their musical ideas, regardless of their personal preferences in music, and with a minimum of technical jargon. Piano proficiency is not required, but some experience on an instrument (i.e., guitar) is helpful. Students will become familiar with multi-track recording techniques, basic mixing, signal processing and editing. Increased computer literacy and awareness of musical form, aesthetic considerations and articulation are natural consequences of this course.Priority given to music majors.
