MUSI UN3342 Beyond Boundaries: Radical Black Experimental Music. 3points.This discussion seminar focuses on African American composer/improvisers in the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries whose workrejects and critiques simplistic compartmentalization in terms ofimprovisation, composition, genre, gender, race, and place. On thecontrary, these musicians embody Duke Ellington’s famous dictumregarding great music being “beyond category.” Students will criticallydiscuss some of the common threads in this network—musicians’means of creating and performing their original music, its distribution inthe marketplace and surrounding critical discourse, their engagementwith issues of race, gender, and class within and outside of theircommunities, and interdisciplinary and community-based collaboration.Musical communities such encompassed in this course include theAssociation for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), Sun Ra’sArkestra, and the Jazz Composers Guild and extends up to the currentday to include contemporary artists such as Nicole Mitchell, MatanaRoberts, and Tyshawn Sorey. The incredibly rich multifarious pieces andperformances that we will listen to and discuss reference and incorporateelements of improvisation, theatre, twelve-tone serialism, aleatoriccomposition, bebop, electro-acoustic and computer music,conduction,popular music, the voice, free jazz, Afrofuturism, the blues, orchestralmusic, opera, and graphic notation

MUSI UN3343 Shades of Brown: Music in the South Asian Diaspora . 3points.This course explores the musical world of the South Asian diasporain Europe and North America. We will read ethnographic accounts ofdiasporic musics and experiences and develop methods for analysis andinterpretation of such accounts, situating the songs of the South Asiandiaspora within its broader social history. We will address the conceptsof belonging and identity, nostalgia and affect, and the dismantling orupholding of dominant discourses such as gender, race, and caste. Ourfocus will be on the last half century, although deeper histories will needto be considered. Students will learn to analyze instrumentation andlyrics in various genres and traditions of South Asian music, includingboth art, folkloric, and popular idioms, and to correlate these with aspectsof the social context of diaspora. While the specific focus of the course ison a particular diasporic history, the class will help students understandand think critically about the broader phenomenon of “diaspora” and itscultural dimensions, and through this to engage critically with importantaspects of cultural globalization and migration.
Students from all departments are welcome. Reading music not required.

MUSI UN3344 Curating Popular Music: From Song Pluggers to Spotify. 3points.How is popular music made popular? And who makes it popular? Thisdiscussion-based course seeks to answer these questions by focusingon the critical role that music industry professionals—song pluggers,sheet music publishers, producers, talent scouts, record executives, andcontent curators—have played in shaping the markets of production,circulation, and consumption of popular music in the United States fromthe beginning of the twentieth century to the present day. Readings,listening selections, and class discussion will address a number of keygenres of American popular music—Tin Pan Alley, folk, blues, country,rock, pop, and hip hop—while individual assignments (including a finalproject centered on creating and producing a podcast) will allow studentsto apply the knowledge gained in class to genres, styles, and works oftheir own choosing.

MUSI GU4630 Recorded Sound. 3 points.Prerequisites: The instructor's permission.As music moves into the 21st century, we find ourselves surroundedby an ever-evolving landscape of technological capability. The world ofmusic, and the music industry itself, is changing rapidly, and with thatchange comes the opening – and closing – of doorways of possibility. What does this shift mean for today’s practicing artist or composer? With big label recording studios signing and nurturing fewer and fewerartists, it seems certain that, today, musicians who want to record anddistribute their music need to be able to do much of the recording andproduction work on their own. But where does one go to learn how todo this – to learn not only the “how to” part of music production, but thehistorical underpinnings and the development of the music productionindustry as well? How does one develop a comprehensive frameworkwithin which they can place their own artistic efforts? How does onelearn to understand what they hear, re-create what they like and developtheir own style?
This class, “Recorded Sound,” aims to be the answer. It’s goal is to teachartists how to listen critically to music from across history and genres inorder to identify the production techniques that they hear, and reproducethose elements using modern technology so they can be incorporatedinto the artist’s own musical works.

MUSI GU4801 Music and the Electrical Imaginary. 3 points.This undergraduate seminar explores the long history of how peoplehave imagined the relationship between music and electricity. Aninterdisciplinary seminar, this course uses methodologies from historicalmusicology, ethnomusicology, and science and technology studies tomap the scientific concepts, technological instruments, and musicalpractices that have contributed to what is now an abstract noun:
“electronic music.” Beginning with early modern fantasies of magneticand electrical music, it continues through 19th century developments inacoustics and electroacoustics; examines early 20th century systemsof networked electrical control and communication; explores theconsequences of magnetic audio tape; surveys electronic music studiosin Cologne, Buenos Aires, Toronto, New York, and San Francisco; traces
the development of voltage-controlled synthesizers in the 1960s;meditates on music, mathematics, and mysticism; and historicallysituates the development of computer music. This course is intendedto foster interdisciplinary dialogue between students interested in thestudy of music (including historians, ethnomusicologists, theorists,and composers) and the study of science and technology (includinghistorians, researchers, and engineers).

MUSI GU4802 Sound, Music and Death. 3 points.This seminar is an exploration of the roles of sound and music play inpeople’s attempts to grapple with death and its many auras. We will readliterature from ethnomusicology, anthropology, and sound studies, andlisten to musics from many parts of the world, so as to investigate how1) the processes of aging, decay, and mourning; 2) metaphorical deathsincluding war and exile; and 3) imaginations of afterlives resound amongthe living.
MUSI GU4810 Sound: Foundations . 3 points.This foundational course in sound will begin by exploring how listeninghappens as well the tools necessary capture and present that listening.Through hands-on experimentation and demonstration, this seminar willexamine both the technical and semiotic use of sound as a
material within creative practice. Fundamental studio techniques willbe explored including soldering for building cables, microphones, andloudspeakers. We will also explore the building blocks of analog anddigital processes for the creation of sound, including microphones (types,patterns, and placement), basic synthesis, and techniques for recording,mixing, editing, and mastering. Through creative projects that implementthese skills we will learn by doing. We will study theories of sound andlistening that determine or are determined by technology, from thephysical and social dimensions of the sounds we use to create, language(sound as a symbol or object), acoustics (sound in space), acousmatics(sound without a visual reference), and psycho-acoustics (sound ascognitive process). This class assumes no prior knowledge or technicalskill. Some reading will be assigned and we will look and listen to a lot ofwork, students are encouraged to participate actively in discussions.
