Syllabus
Students will gain competency in the music production and performance software Ableton Live through a series of creative exercises. These exercises are heuristics in the sense that they’re designed to help students find well-formed musical solutions quickly and improvisationally, without presupposing a background in musical theory or performance.
I’ll introduce these technical topics alongside their artistic applications: audio editing (collage), midi (rhythm/melody/harmony), synthesis and effects (sound design), randomness (generative systems design), recording, and interfacing with external sensors, controllers and data (instrument design).
Weekly assignments will solidify skills explored in class.
