Class Subtitle	The Art and Experience of Listening
Description	MUSI 2090 Sound Studies: The Art and Experience of Listening When we think about knowing the world through the senses, we are likely to think first of the visible world. But sound, hearing and listening are crucial too and often take precedence in many communities. Recently scholars in history, anthropology, geography, literary studies, acoustics, music, ecology, environmental science, and art have come together in the field of Sound Studies, reflecting on the role of sounds as forces that flow in and beyond human life. How do sound art, technology, and design create the world we inhabit and our everyday social and political experience? How can vibrations both heal and destroy? What does it mean to experience immersive and embodied sound? We will ponder these and other questions, moving between theoretical, experiential, and creative explorations. A short(5m 46s) prototype composition showcasing some ideas and student work from a previous version of the class can be accessed via the Website URL. No prior musical experience is required.
