Learning objectives:
This is a two-semester course that can be taken in the first or second year of study. The prerequisite is mastery of organology and advanced techniques of individual instruments, as well as the acoustic basics of orchestration.
The aim is to acquire new perspectives on orchestration as one component of complex compositional strategies. It is based on the understanding of orchestration as the art of manipulating space (whether real or virtual) through sound sounding in time. In addition, students are introduced to the use of technology to analyse sound and the application of its possibilities in musical composition.
Thematic areas:
1/ Technology and Orchestration
- Introduction to various software used for sound analysis
- creative approach to analysis (the computer only does what it is told)
- export and conversion of data and the possibilities for creative use
- orchestral resynthesis
2/ Topics according to the needs and focus of the students
Learning outcomes
The student is able to think about orchestration from a variety of perspectives, and is able to use the potential of modern technology in creative ways.
