This course will investigate the material nature of clay as a medium to create three-dimensional forms. Students will explore the material aspects of clay such as dryness, wetness, mass, scale and incorporating mix media. We will be using a variety of mechanical processes that include extrusion, slab rolling, slip casting and traditional hand building techniques. In doing so,

This course will investigate the material nature of clay as a medium to create three-dimensional forms. Students will explore the material aspects of clay such as dryness, wetness, mass and scale using a variety of mechanical processes that include extrusion, slab rolling, slip casting and digital fabrication. In doing so, the pieces created will be used to convey ideas of form

Create experimental sound works in the Jennings recording studio.  We will cover methods of recording, mic’ing, sampling, extreme processing,  and mix techniques.  Tape concrete, electro-acoustic,  plunderphonics, and mangling audio mayhem.

Self-reflexive narratives, improvisation, non-linearity, slow cinema, alternative representations of time and space, experimental film grammars, poetic scripts, collective direction, Brechtian techniques.  All of these processes and more will be explored in this hands-on production based course. Working collaboratively and on your peers’ work in various roles is required

This is an intermediate production course that will explore experimental narrative structures in film and video art practices. Emphasis will be on analyzing innovative storytelling in film and literary forms as we examine aspects of dramatic production: mise-en-scene, working with actors, script breakdown, storyboards and collaborative production units. Students will be

This class approaches experimental pedagogies as the many forms of study we undertake through our work/practice/research. The process of (un)learning also comes with any act of creative inquiry, searching, and experimentation.   The study we undertake through our creative, living, playful and abundant research moves in excess of institutional forms of knowledge

The process of developing within ceramics a vision of how your work interfaces with contemporary art making practices will be the major focus of this class.  This class is designed to be a combination of research and making that can include ceramic and non-ceramic materials. The class is meant to support the development of continuing advance work and new experimental

In this course, we will explore the possibilities of radio and sonic narration through experimental sound practices. How can we portray political and social events through sonic practices without relying on verbal communication? What are the ways of creating speculative worlds through radio broadcasting? Along with readings and discussions, we will examine previous experimental

A look at experimental audio and sound design to find what experimental techniques yield a bounty of sonic possibilities. Musique concrete, sfx editing, experimental microphone technique, immersive multi-channel setups, analog electronic music, will all be examined within the context of sound design for media. Looking at the world as one big sound library, we will create our

How far can we stretch ourselves into creating sonic landscapes for visuals? We will work create sound design and score from scratch to accompany quicktime movies.  Extraordinary sound sources, experimental music techniques, extreme sound design, time compression-expansion will all be covered. What do buzzing bees sound like stretched to be one-thousand times slow - will

In this introductory course, students will expand their understanding of electroacoustic music by creating their own sonic narratives. The topics will include soundscape composition, 3D sound recording, surround sound (5.1), site-specific sound work, and electromagnetic field listening. There will be an emphasis on production and experiential learning through exercises and

In this introductory course, students will expand their understanding of music by delving into experimental sound practices. During this course, students will create sound compositions, electroacoustic pieces, and performances/installations. The topics will include soundscape composition, binaural sound recording, introduction to modular synthesis, electromagnetic field

In this introductory course, students will expand their understanding of electroacoustic music by creating their own sonic narratives. The topics will include but are not limited to: soundscape composition, beat-making practices, and electromagnetic and binaural field listening. We will look at recent music-making experiments during the time of COVID-19 and explore the creative

In this course we will explore the myriad ways that sound and movement can intersect in a performative practice. Designed for students interested in compositional and co-creation strategies for both music and dance, we will consider historical and contemporary innovations in pairing sound and movement from a broad range of cultural and aesthetic perspectives. Regardless of
