The practice of underscoring moving images is as old as the medium itself, from early improvised accompaniments to modern experimental approaches. In this course, we will look and listen to a variety of films and sound scores throughout the ages, analyzing the way in which they act as counterpoint to a visual score. Written analysis of film sound design, foley, and musical accompaniments will serve as background to the studentsʹ own projects. Students will be expected to provide musical content for moving images by the end of the term (which could include collaborations with other student projects in video and animation) as well as sonification of previously existing films. Students will be expected to record and sync their music within a digital environment.
Learning Outcomes:
* To understand the history of musical scoring for moving image
* To create music that is in resonance and response to another medium
* To be able to navigate musical creation in a digital and multimedia environment
