Fall 2009 - Seminar in Experimental Composition

The emphasis will be on your articulation and creation of projects of contemporary relevance, in particular, seeding reference, and other projects as might protect your creativity against commercial enterprise (how to be successful without succeeding in being silly). The seminar involves listening to music as a group, composition projects, performers' workshops, and conversation. Materials are to be drawn from art, science, the society we live in, and the society we wish to live in. When composing a piece of music, a formulation of thought, or a living arrangement, the composer chooses among alternatives, and generates new alternatives, such that witnesses can observe the consequences of the composer's choosing. Thus, composition may be an input to any discipline concerned with social life.

먼저, 저희 학교에 관심을 보여주신 한국 지원자 여러분들에게 감사드립니다.
아쉽게도, 2009년부터 2010년까지는 새로운 분들이 아닌, 전에 참가했던 SDaS 학생분들과 학교 수업을 진행할 예정입니다.
수업이라기보다는, 저희는 지금 '언어 실험실'이라는 프로젝트를 8월부터 진행할 예정인데, 말은 '언어 실험'이지만, 영어를 가르치는 목적이 절대 아님을 미리 알려드립니다.
저희 학교에 관심있으신 분들은, 내년 2010 여름, 가을학기에 지원해주시기 바랍니다.
