Course Objectives: | The main objective of the course is to introduce the concepts of interactive sound design. The techniques of interactive sound design will be exercised via object oriented programming software while the aesthetics will be established through historical research as well as analysis of contemporary sound art. The principles of interactive sound design will be evaluated through applications and design projects. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; I. Analyze the concepts of sonic arts and interactivity II. Recognize the principles of digital audio III. Evaluate the concepts of an object oriented programming language to create interaction design IV. Apply sound synthesis via object oriented programming V. Create interactive sound design patches to apply synthesis & processing VI. Compose sonic compositions VII. Evaluate aesthetics of sonic compositions |
