Alongside fieldwork; students will learn basic recording techniques; engage in theoretical readings - drawn from eco-musicology and sound studies - and classroom discussions directed towards the creation of individual and/or group sound compositions/projects. These compositions can be imagined in a multitude of creative ways; including podcasting; sound art/essays; visual arts; dance/movement arts; songwriting; etc. No special expertise or equipment is needed; and guidance with audio editing programs is built into the course.
