In this course students design and build digital\/analog musical instruments and ultimately create a live performance using them. Over the semester, we look at examples of current work by creators of musical interfaces, and discuss a wide range of issues facing technology-enabled sound performance, such as affordances, mapping, links to acoustic instruments, agency, site specificity, haptic feedback, and gestuality. Readings and case studies provide background for class discussions on the theory and practice of designing musical controllers and the process of integrating them in a musical performance, with attention to the idiosyncrasies that emerge from the figure of the inventor\/composer\/performer. Students design and prototype a musical instrument – a complete system encompassing musical controller, algorithm for mapping input to sound, and the sound output itself. A technical framework for prototyping performance controllers is made available. Students focus on musical composition and improvisation techniques as they prepare their prototypes for a final live concert where they (or guest musicians) will perform with their instruments.
