Introduction to research in music, bibliographical materials, major issues in the field, philosophy, and methods in music history. Guest lecturers and individual research topics.

Weekly review of work being done in the field, research taking palce at CCRMA, and tools to make the most of the CCRMA technical facilities.

What are the basic tools that computer music researchers and artists use to create sound? This course will include a summary of digital synthesis techniques (additive, subtractive, wavetable, frequency modulation and physical-modeling), signal processing techniques for digital effects, (reverberation, panning, filters), and basic psychoacoustics. Programming experience is recommended, but not required. Course will use the ChucK computer music language. Majors (undergraduate or graduate) must take for 4 units. See http://ccrma.stanford.edu/.

Independent research projects in composition, psychoacoustics, or signal processing. See http://ccrma.stanford.edu/. May be repeated for credit. Prerequisite: 220C.

Individual instruction continuing trajectory of Music 130C. Focus on gestural technique and analysis of works by genre and historical period. May be repeated for credit a total of 8 times. Prerequisite: 130C.

The symphonic oeuvre of Gustav Mahler (1860-191) examined through close study of selected works and movements, biographical and critical readings, cultural-political context of "fin-de-siècle" Vienna and Europe, paradigms of Romanticism and Modernism in European music. The background of ethnic diversity and conflict in late-Hapsburg Austria, the rise of European antisemitism, and outlines of the late 20th-century Mahler revival. Writing assignments emphasize live vs. critically mediated responses to the music, issues in orchestration and interpretation, and verbal mediation of musical meaning. Prerequisites: MUSIC 23, MUSIC 42. (WIM at 4-unit level only.)

This lab and project-based course explores how we can physically interact with real-time electronic sound. Students learn to use and design sensors, circuits, embedded computers, communication protocols and sound synthesis. Advanced topics include real-time media, haptics, sound synthesis using physical model analogs, and human-computer interaction theory and practice. Course culminates in musical performance with or exhibition of completed design projects. A $50 lab fee will be added to your bill upon enrollment in this course. See http://ccrma.stanford.edu/.

Creative design for computer music software. Programming, audiovisual design, as well as software design for musical tools, instruments, toys, and games. Provides paradigms and strategies for designing and building music software, with emphases on interactive systems, aesthetics, and artful product design. Course work includes several programming assignments and a "design+implement" final project. Prerequisite: experience in C/C++ and/or Java.See https://ccrma.stanford.edu/courses/256a/
