Overview

This unit investigates the possibilities of sound and listening in relationship to practices of contemporary art. Diverse approaches and ideas will be explored through both critical and practical encounters with the history of sound art, performance, and the sonic imagination. Particular attention will be paid to composing, improvising, listening, scoring, recording and amplifying, with an open ear for the poetics and politics of sound in relation to audiences and spaces. This unit engages with a range of material, conceptual and technical strategies enabling you to think in experimental and new ways about sound in the space of art.
