Interactive Music

Yotam Mann

Sound and music play an integral part in an interactive experience. What about the reverse: how can interaction can play a crucial role in a musical experience? Responsive, adaptive, and interactive audio have the ability to develop a mood, create a sense of space and material, cue and foreshadow events, and allow people to participate in significant ways in sound­making processes. This class will focus on the relationship between interaction and sound, creating sonically­driven experiences, interfaces and environments in which
music is realized as a collaboration between the composer and listener. This class takes a broad view of music as “organized sound”.
