Section Description

This is an experiential course, with a focus on hands-on application of the techniques, technology, and ideas discussed in class and encountered in the readings. The prerequisite for MU 2770 is MU 1770 Intro to Music Technology. This course fulfills the CAS Fine Arts distribution requirement.

Section Expectation

Students will analyze the role of music and sound in movies and other video genres through study of videos and readings, create music in a software environment, using Apple Logic Pro, gain fluency with Logic as a tool for creating music and soundscapes, learn to work with video in the Logic environment, and mix multiple soundtracks (music and Foley). Depending on time, opportunity, and student interest, we may collaborate with student directors in Film and Television Studies for a project. We also may record live audio (spoken or musical) for inclusion in MU 2770 projects.
