This class will compose music that will be written down and passed to players to be rehearsed and taped. Every step of the process is assisted (particularly at the notational level) and discussed. Players in the class, as well as professional players from outside, will later join in to help bring each piece to life in sound. In addition, other twentieth-century works are played and discussed and occasional visits to performances of new music in New York are made. Individual meetings are arranged on a regular basis.

A hands-on multidisciplinary workshop developing methods to combine diverse arts and media in interactive live performances and installations. These connections will be made by means of personal computers and specially designed electronic interfaces linking humans and machines. The course will offer instruction in the mastery of the facilities of the Bard Electronic Music Studio, including digital sampling, MIDI sequencing, and the programming of real-time, interactive, MIDI-based software, extensible to video (eg. QuickTime) and other visual domains (lighting, slides, etc.). The course will include examination and discussion of the history and literature of multi-media composition and performance art in the Twentieth Century. It is hoped that a broad range of disciplines will be represented. Collaboration with students working in film/video, drama/ dance, visual arts, music, and writing are actively encouraged, as are those with computer science students interested in real-time interactive systems, pattern recognition, and artificial intelligence, and physics students interested in constructing control systems and interfaces. Enrollment limited.

This
course
will offer students instruction and guidance in realizing projects in electronic composition,
performances, and installations. The approach will be both theoretical and musical. Examples of
possible projects include: interactive computer music composition and performance utilizing the
object oriented programming language, MAX, including algorithmic composition, machine
listening
and improvisation; digital sound synthesis and signal processing employing Supercollider
Software;
alternate MIDI controllers and interfaces. Students will be expected to present original creative
work
in public performances at least once during the semester. Pre-requisite: Music Workshop F and
Music
