MP 3840 - Digital Performance I


Credits: 3

In this junior-level music performance course, students learn to perform their original compositions and digital productions using a variety of music technologies. Through technical demonstrations, performance studies and analysis, and applied creative projects, students learn to accompany themselves using digital tools, adopt non-linear performance strategies, perform DJ sets, and create improvisational systems. Given the individualized nature of music performance, the course is designed to support experimentation, technical learning, and critical evaluation of performance paradigms to help students craft their own approach to technologically mediated performance. A junior-level performance portfolio review will be conducted at the end of the course. Students must pass the review to pass the course, and to advance in the degree program.
