Computer Music Programming

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

In this class students will learn to compose and perform with computer-based systems. Our primary tool will be Max, also known as Max/MSP/Jitter, a visual programming language for music and multimedia. Through this language, we will explore the foundations of computer music, covering topics such as digital instrument design, sequencing, live processing, sound diffusion, video processing, plugin creation for DAWs, and algorithmic music. No prior experience in music or computer programming is required.
