MUSIC 18AX:
Audiovisual Performance
The unification of music and visual arts has been attempted throughout history, opera being one example. In the 20th Century, sounds and moving images have been syncretized in various art forms, such as film or video art, as well as in popular culture (television, music video, the Internet, etc.). Today, with fast technological developments and the convenience of hardware/software tools, media artists employ both sonic and visual elements in their performance practice. What are the interrelations between music, video, and themselves as performers. Students will perform with music and video in synergy. The course explores various theories and practices of engaging audiovisual media in the context of stage performance. Examples come from the scenes of experimental music and multimedia performance. Other audiovisual categories to be approached: avant-garde film, visual music, video art, music video, etc. Readings, listening-viewings, discussions, and analyses of relevant works will provide a conceptual framework. Labs and assignments will give students hands-on experience in crafting and performing their own audiovisual works. The course culminates with a public show.

MUSIC 20AX:
The Singer-Songwriter & American Popular Culture
This is a course about the emergence of a mythological figure in twentieth-century American popular culture: the singer-songwriter. From the storied travels of Woody Guthrie across the Great Plains, to the rebellious genius of Bob Dylan, whose poetic lyrics won him the Nobel Prize in Literature, to the genre-bending feminist icon of our modern age, Taylor Swift, singer-songwriters have been at the heart of American cultural expression for nearly a century. By taking seriously how both individual and national identity are shaped by discourses of race, ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality, we will explore how political transformations in American social life might help us to understand the careers of Guthrie, Dylan, Swift and many others, as well as vice-versa: how singer-songwriters transformed American social life in the mid to late twentieth century. What remains so alluring about these poet-performers? What can their enduring significance tell us about the development of American popular culture in the twentieth century and today? Note: No musical training is required to take this course.

Mentorship can include your advisor augmented, should you chose, by any other faculty member from CCRMA or in other programs. The project can be in applied research areas such as design projects and/or mentored internships.
