Electronic Music II
Outline:
Electronic music II is a continuation of Electronic Music I MUS 120.
In this class we will explore the world of midi-based electronic music
in a workshop format. Students will continue with the last chapter of
the text by Chadabe from MUS 120 (Midi-Based Composition). Central to
the course will be hands on work at our Korg workstations in the music
lab of Nestor hall. Students will be given exercises and studies from
a supplemental workbook as yet to be determined. Students will also
consult an online web supplement being formulated for the course by J oe
Marcum in the communications department of Columbus State Community
College. This web will be accessed by the student for online listening
assignments to electronic works by Rocco Di Pietro and others to give
the student a direction for his or her assignments. Analysis of the
works through listening and written essays will be assigned.
Additionally, we will spend much of the semester formulating pieces
the student will be expected to present for a grade as well as
performing in a midi-ensemble group compositions and improvisations
created in class by the students. A future midi-synthesizer ensemble
at Columbus State is the hoped for goal.
