Title
Sound & Sight and Phase Music: Two Transdisciplinary Courses
Description
From the earliest operatic spectacles to the towering Coachella-esque stages that dominate today’s music industry, there are no shortage of successful examples of artists combining music and visual art. The advancement of technology has created greater potential for these combinations today. Music curriculums that wish to produce well-rounded graduates capable of realizing this potential need to adapt to teach how to incorporate technology in performances. This paper presents two new courses that integrate technology with performance: Sound & Sight: A Practical Approach to Audio-Visual Performances; and Phase Music: An Introduction to Design and Fabrication. In Sound & Sight, students will learn how to “storyboard” pieces of music, realize that vision through object-oriented programming in Processing, and synchronize audio and visual elements in live performance settings using Ableton Live and Max. In Phase Music, students will be introduced to Phase Music, learn how to use Ableton Live to perform one of Steve Reich’s phase pieces or compose and perform their own piece of phase music, and design and build a custom Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) controller using Arduino, Adobe Illustrator, and Max. The document includes complete fifteen-week lesson plans for each course, which detail learning objectives, assignments, use of class time, original video coding tutorials, and lecture notes.
