COMM 153D: Ensemble Sonification of Temporal Data (MUSIC 153D)
An ensemble course with research components for making data-driven music. Improvised and composed pieces make use of large, time-based data sets chronicling humans' digital-life and real-life experiences, and explore how temporal data can be transformed into live musical performances.

A series of workshops with guest musicians will continue throughout the year and group members will be able to take part beyond the course.
