In this course we will examine various examples of vocal interactions with electronics, historically and in contemporary contexts of improvisation, song and composition. We will treat electronics as a broad concept, from simple manipulation of a standard vocal mic to analog/digital processing, feedback, hardware, and software interactions. The course will focus on collaboration and interaction, using improvisation as a key tool for practical exploration of various concepts. The course will also provide a basic introduction to technical aspects of live and recorded sound for vocalists. Those without prior experience are encouraged to participate, as outside advising and access to microphones and gear can be made available by appointment.
