| Summary | This course forms an introduction to the current theory and practice
of both electroacoustic composition and performance. Its main interest
is an exploration of acousmatic music: music which is composed using
recorded source material as its basis, and which is more concerned
with the organic rather than architectonic disposition of sound.
Practical techniques for composing electroacoustic music will be
established, including basic and more advanced non real-time sound
processing. The concept of the sonic image will be visited and the
difficulty of marrying composed (virtual) space and performed (real)
space pursued.
