A history and workshop course designed to illuminate the history of Hip Hop music.
Area: P, Y
Conceived as a follow-up class to “Hip Hop Music Production: History and Practice 1”, this course is designed to further explore production styles and techniques of prominent as well as lesser known producers, and to provide students with opportunities to build on production skills learned in “Hip Hop Music Production: History and Practice 1”. Students will have the opportunity to produce hip hop in a number of different styles, as well as to learn mixing and mastering techniques used to bring a recording project to completion.
Prerequisite(s): Completion of Hip Hop Music Production 1 needed, PY.350.409[C].
Area: P, Y
This course builds on the skills learned in Introduction to Computer Music to focus on the art mixing. Students will learn the techniques and tools behind making a great mix, starting with the fundamentals of EQs, compressors, filters, distortion, etc and expanding to explore creative applications of these tools. This project-based course will combine focused assignments designed to gain an understanding of the tools of the mixing studio and personal mix projects that showcase the student’s personal voice as a producer. PREREQUISITES: Intro to Computer Music 1 and 2
Prerequisite(s): Intro to Computer Music 1 and 2
A study of the techniques, repertoire, and aesthetics of computer music. Composition and research projects are completed using the resources of the Computer Music Studios. Participation in at least one public program.
