Course Description
Summary
A seminar based on student-initiated projects in immersive sound design, for students with previous experience in mixing, electronics, and production. A variety of platforms will be presented and made available, from soundscape composition, geotagging, 8-channel sound, 5.1/7.1, to environmental positioning of acoustic sources.
