Description
The Sound Technologies Minor offers students an interdisciplinary pathway, encompassing perspectives ranging from live applications to fixed media, bridging the disciplines of theatre, music, cinema and studio art. Across these fields, there is demand for understanding in both pre- and post- production audio techniques, original sound composition, live performance, and recording processes that encompass a variety of environments. Students are encouraged to engage with sound as an expressive and technical medium, for use in live performance and visual arts, in recorded media, and as a medium of expression on its own. This minor provides students the chance to develop specialized skills in sound technologies, to include introduction to the theory and practice of sound design, audio production, and sonic arts. This interdisciplinary program encourages exploration of sound through various creative and technical lenses, preparing students for further study towards roles within media, performing arts, and sound design industries. The Sound Technologies Minor students gain experience with digital audio workstations, programming, installation, design, modular synthesis, field recording, foley, music composition, and live mixing. Tools and processes are grounded in both electronic and acoustic concepts.
