Collaborative Music Ensemble

Students work collectively to develop, rehearse
and record experimental pop music in ensembles of
3-4 students each. Students will explore multiple
approaches to collaboration: from rehearsing and
recording as a live ensemble; to "turn-taking"
overdubbing; to trading songwriting, arranging and
production roles for individually-conceived works.
Each group of students will have two opportunities
to record as a live ensemble in CalArts recording
studios, with significant development and guidance
for both performance and production techniques
from the instructor.
