Music 203

Students perform with music and video in synergy. The course explores various theories and practices of engaging audiovisual media in performance on stage and online. Examples come from the scenes of experimental music and multimedia performance. Other audiovisual categories to be approached: avant-garde film, visual music, video art, music video, network art. Readings, listening-viewings, discussions, and analyses of relevant works provide a conceptual framework. Labs and assignments give students hands-on experience in crafting and performing their own audiovisual works. The course culminates with a public live streaming show. A background in either music or visual arts is recommended, but not required.
