Description

This practice-based class explores the art of field recording and the aesthetic, social, political, and ethical questions it engages. Through critical reading, listening, discussion, recording, and creative projects, investigates how sound interacts with nature, urban spaces, objects, people, and networks. Uses sound as our lens in order to gain a stronger appreciation of its presence in our environments and how we create, interpret, and interact with them.

Class Notes

From the Instructor: Although this is an upper-division course, it has been designed to be accessible to all students. This class is a deep dive into the art of listening and recording environmental sound. We'll be going on sound walks, taking field trips, and creating music out of our field recordings.
