This class is divided into lectures and labs. During lectures, Jonathan Harvey will address aesthetic and musical aspects of the selected pieces, going through a detailed analysis of them, with emphasis on the interaction between instruments and electronics. During lab sessions, Juan Pampin will discuss the electronic techniques used in the compositions. Students will gain hands-on experience on the presented sound synthesis and processing techniques working on computer-based examples and projects. Labs will take place at CCRMA, Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics.
