46-3220 Critical Sound Studies

This course examines theoretical discussions of Sound and Recording . While taking a few historical diversions, we attempt to come to terms with popular and experimental music’s techno-cultural materiality, employing a multi-disciplinary, theoretical approach to the complexity of recorded sound as a result of technological innovation, non-performative production techniques, and adjusted expectations of cultural value; of interest for those working in the cultural study of the technology, materiality, and production as social process.
