ESP Forum

Course open to Experimental Sound Practices
students only.
This class centers on the presentation and
critique of works by students in the Experimental
Sound Practices specialization. Each student,
during the academic year, is given a one-hour
period to present and discuss recent original
work(s) of their choice. The role of the
instructor is, essentially, that of a moderator
and commentator on the process. In addition to
student presentations, there may be occasional
presentations by visiting composers. If no other
presentation is scheduled (as is always the case
with the first few classes) the instructor makes
presentations on the works of a particular
composer or contemporary musical genre, or leads
discussions on specific topics. Readings may be
assigned to support these topics.
