AUDI 313 Building Circuits for Sound Art I

This course introduces students to the skills necessary to build their own hardware for analog synthesis, electro-acoustic music, and sound art. Students will learn to read circuit diagrams, breadboard prototypes and solder finished circuit boards. Students will also explore fabrication techniques to build custom enclosures and interfaces. Students will demonstrate and share their creations through performance and critiques.

Readings and assessments focus on necessary practical knowledge. Projects are assessed for both craftsmanship and creative results. Students should expect to spend 3-6+ hours per week completing projects outside of class, and are responsible for the purchase of their own materials.
