Course Number: Art 369
Course Name: Audio Art

Final Project due Dec. 1 (mid-project review Nov. 17)

Your final project for Audio Art should be of your own concept and design, and one that is a culmination of the tools you have learned and topics that we have discussed in this class. Please remember that this course is a focus in ways that audio can exist as art, as an artistic experience. You should consider the ways in which your final project expresses or is representative of a particular concept or topic that you find interesting, impassioned, or inspirational. Your project can be musical, but should conceptually extend beyond the confines of traditional musical structure and notation. Your work should not be passive, entertaining experience.

Your work may take the form of a composition, video, multichannel work, installation, interactive interface, or live performance.

Consider:

1. using sound as documentation
2. audio-visual relationships
3. virtual musical instruments
4. synthetic sound
5. how sound creates emotion
6. how sound creates ideas
7. how you can argue with sound
8. how sound has meaning
9. sound as an icon or a metaphor
10. blindness - sound as eyes
11. sound as a library

Documentation:
The process used to create each sound/visual must be documented in detail. Explain your reasons for the placement of sound/visuals into the animation. Keeping a log while working is recommended. This documentation is required when handing the assignment in. It should be in sentence form, using terminology explained during lectures.
