Electronic Music Live Coding - Computer Programming as Musical Performance

In this course we will learn the art of live coding, an electronic music improvisation/performance practice of creating live music by typing code in real time. Students will learn the techniques of live coding along with useful principles of sound design, acoustics, digital audio, music theory, computer coding, and artificial intelligence. Class projects will include solo and group performances and recordings. All students will need a laptop computer (Windows or Mac) with a reasonable amount of free disc space. This class welcomes students with all levels of music and coding experience, from beginner to advanced.
