In this course, students will work towards completing either one piece or the body of their work in sound practices. These projects can vary, including but are not limited to: sound compositions, music productions (mixes, recordings, and arrangement), e-music pieces, sound design for moving images or theater or video games & VR, online performance ideas and setups, and radio and transmission art pieces. Emphasis will be on portfolio making, depth of approach to content, the refinement of the process, and in-class peer critical review. During this course, there will be exercises (individually or as a group) towards completion and advancing students’ projects. This course will be taught in a remote setting with synchronous and asynchronous components. This class will collaborate with B-rad (Bennington College’s radio station) to air students’ pieces.
