MUS 415 explores the design and creation of audio-based artmaking practices. Classes will combine hands-on practical learning with creative presentations from faculty, students, and guest artists. Projects include designing synthesizers, microphones, speakers, pickups, analog effects, and self-led designs. Using the resources of StudioLab, we will develop skills in electronics, physical computing, and the use of tools such as laser cutters, 3D printers, breadboards, and soldering. Additional topics will be led by student interest and expertise. This class will be valuable for any students who use sound in their research or artistic practice.

Prerequisites and Restrictions
Because much of the course work is hands-on, attendance and participation in the lecture and student-led projects is important to the course. If you miss all or part of a class, you can make up some work during StudioLab public open hours.
