This course surveys a variety of technology, looking at aspects of both software and hardware applications, in service of music. We will look at notations software that allows us to write music with traditional notation. In addition, we will also look at several types of software that allows us to record and manipulate sound in a variety of different ways and with different approaches to user interface. We will also explore a variety of hardware used in the recording and creating process. In every case, students will have the opportunity to facilitate and demonstrate learning through several different projects over the course of the semester, making this a "hands-on" class in the great tradition of NDSCS coursework.
