This course offers students tools for analysis of and hands-on training in audio and video recording, as well as curation of completed projects for researchers, performers, and composers. Based on the expanded canon of music documentaries, field recordings, podcasts, as well as participatory and community-engaged multimedia creation, students are introduced to the theory and practice of audiovisual recording. Readings draw from music studies, media studies, sound studies, film studies, and visual anthropology. Students are encouraged to incorporate projects from their respective programs into coursework, including community-based research and iterative editing methodologies. Work in progress is presented for peer feedback, and upon completion in a final presentation with a written reflection piece. Students may also submit proposals for exhibition curation, with analyses and supplementary literature reviews.
