MUSIC 32N: Sculpting with Sounds, Images, and Words

Throughout history and from East to West, cultures abound in multimedia forms. Whether in Coldplay's Music Video or Fantasia, Pepsi TV adds or Wagner's opera, Miyazaki anime or traditional Noh Theater of Japan, the three modes of expression (sounds, images, and word) are interwoven in distinctive ways. What are their individual and combined powers? How can one harness them in an online context? Can Web be a stage for multimedia theater? What is unique about the poetry of intermodal metaphor? The course will be an opportunity to face these questions in creative web-based projects as well as through in-class viewing of multimedia works, analysis and debates, readings, and student presentations. The seminar will be taught at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics where students will have access to new media technologies. Prior experience in music, literature, art practice or computer programming is welcome but not required.

MUSIC 37N: Ki ho'alu: The New Renaissance of a Hawaiian Musical Tradition

Preference to freshman. A style of guitar playing originally developed in the Hawaiian Islands during the early 1800s, ki ho alu, or Hawaiian slack key guitar, is an art form that has experienced exposure and popularity in Hawai'i and worldwide. Its rise in popularity coincides with the increased awareness, dissemination, and growth of political activism directly relating to Hawaiian culture. In this on-line, synchronously-taught seminar we will explore the musical, cultural, historical, and political perspectives of Hawaiian music in general, and ki ho alu in particular, through critical listening, readings, discussion, and a conversation with guest slack key artist and 6-time Grammy winner Daniel Ho. With ki ho alu as the focus, we will learn about Hawaiian music and history, and explore the relationship between performance, cultural expression, community, and identity.
