In this hands-on course students will develop spatial audio for multiple speakers and learn about the role that sensory immersion can play in the presentation of their work. The course includes numerous visits to the immersive sound clinic at Reforesters Laboratory in Williamsburg Brooklyn, a performance space that has a 24.2 channel sound system, where projects can be tested. By the end of the class students will have created a spatialized audio work that will be shared in a public listening session. Students will build on or strengthen skills in sound editing and spatialization using the digital audio workspace Reaper, and will be introduced to other tools that offer spatial possibilities. Close listening plays a major role in the course, as well as research into the history of immersion across disciplines from music, to film, to art, to theater. While students do not need to be experienced with the spatial sound tools, some familiarity with media such as audio or video editing is preferred.
