MUSIC 11Q: Art in the Metropolis (ARTSINST 11Q, ARTSTUDI 11Q, ENGLISH 11Q, FILMEDIA 11Q, TAPS 11Q)

This seminar is offered in conjunction with the annual "Arts Immersion" trip to New York that takes place over the spring break and is organized by the Stanford Arts Institute (SAI). Enrollment in this course is a requirement for taking part in the spring break trip. The program is designed to provide a group of students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the cultural life of New York City guided by faculty and SAI staff. Students will experience a broad range and variety of art forms (visual arts, theater, opera, dance, etc.) and will meet with prominent arts administrators and practitioners, some of whom are Stanford alumni. In the seminar, we will prepare for the diverse experiences the trip affords and develop individual projects related to particular works of art, exhibitions, and performances that we'll encounter in person during the stay in New York. Class time will be divided between readings, presentations, and one studio based creative project. The urban setting in which the various forms of art are created, presented, and received will form a special point of focus. A principal aim of the seminar will be to develop aesthetic sensibilities through writing critically about the art that interests and engages us and making art.

This course will explore the sights and sounds of daily life for cultural elites as well as the average urban resident. Although it is often vocal polyphony that first comes to mind when thinking about Renaissance music, acoustic environments were complex, noisy, and diverse. This course aims to reflect that heterogeneity: topics include bells, processions, music and architecture, instrumental music, plainchant, visual depictions of music-making, and uses of music to project power, as well as sacred and secular vocal polyphony. Students will zoom in on cities, courts, and churches, especially the musical centers of Bruges, Florence, Ferrara, the Imperial Court of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, and Bavaria. The course will examine music by some of the most important composers of the era, including Guillaume Du Fay, Josquin des Prez, Philippe Verdelot, Nicolas Gombert, and Orlando di Lasso. WIM at 4 units only.

MUSIC 146N: Transcultural Perspectives of South-East Asian Music and Arts (COMPLIT 148, COMPLIT 267, FRENCH 260A, MUSIC 246N)

This course will explore the links between aspects of South-East Asian cultures and their influence on modern and contemporary Western art and literature, particularly in France; examples of this influence include Claude Debussy (Gamelan music), Jacques Charpentier (Karnatak music), Auguste Rodin (Khmer art) and Antonin Artaud (Balinese theater). In the course of these interdisciplinary analyses - focalized on music and dance but not limited to it - we will confront key notions in relation to transculturality: orientalism, appropriation, auto-ethnography, nostalgia, exoticism and cosmopolitanism. We will also consider transculturality interior to contemporary creation, through the work of contemporary composers such as Tran Kim Ngoc, Chinary Ung and Tôn-Thât Tiêt. Viewings of sculptures, marionette theater, ballet, opera and cinema will also play an integral role. To satisfy a Ways requirement, this course must be taken for at least 3 units. WIM credit in Music at 4 units and a letter grade.

MUSIC 356: Music and AI (CS 470)

How do we make music with artificial intelligence? What does it mean to do so (and is it even a good idea)? How might we design systems that balance machine automation and human interaction? More broadly, how do we want to live with our technologies? Are there - and ought there be - limits to using AI for art? (And what is Art, anyway?) In this "critical making" course, students will learn practical tools and techniques for AI-mediated music creation, engineer software systems incorporating AI, HCI and Music, and critically reflect on the aesthetic and ethical dimensions of technology.

MUSIC 422: Perceptual Audio Coding

History and basic principles: development of psychoacoustics-based data-compression techniques; perceptual-audio-coder applications (radio, television, film, multimedia/internet audio, DVD, EMD). In-class demonstrations: state-of-the-art audio coder implementations (such as AC-3, MPEG) at varying data rates; programming simple coders. Topics: audio signals representation; quantization; time to frequency mapping; introduction to psychoacoustics; bit allocation and basic building blocks of an audio codec; perceptual audio codecs evaluation; overview of MPEG-1, 2, 4 audio coding and other coding standards (such asAC-3). Prerequisites: knowledge of digital audio principles, familiarity with C programming. Recommended: 320, EE 261. See http://ccrma.stanford.edu/.

MUSIC 424L: Signal Processing Techniques for Digital Audio Effects Group Study

Techniques for dynamic range control, equalization and filtering, delay effects and reverberation, digital emulation of analog processors, and implementation of time-varying effects. Single-band and multiband compressors, limiters, noise gates, de-essers; parametric, shelf, and resonant equalizers, wah-wah, phasor, and envelope-following filters, filter banks; echo, chorus, flange, tape delay; room acoustics analysis and comb, allpass, and feedback delay network reverberators. Students implement common digital audio effects in real-time audio plugins, and work on their own projects. Prerequisites: the Discrete Fourier Transform, z-Transform, and difference equations at the level of 320A; modest C programming and Python or Matlab experience. Recommended: EE 264; audio effects in mixing and mastering at the level of 192.

MUSIC 451C: Auditory EEG Research III: Coordinated Actions and Hyperscanning

Advancing EEG research skills in cognitive neuroscience specific to music cognition by conducting a group research project. In particular, this course focuses on basics for 2-person EEG (hyperscanning) paradigms and explores how coordinated actions and social interactions during musical ensemble are processed in the two brains. Laboratory works covers advanced electroencephalography (EEG) recording and analysis techniques specifically for oscillation and phase coherence across brain areas and between subjects. Seminar activities include surveying literature, discussing research articles and giving criticisms, and writing research reports. Lab scheduled separately Prerequisite: Music 451A
