Sound

Teacher: Laurent Baudoux

The course will be 80% practical oriented. That said, some questions will arise during the creation process that are worth thinking about.

A more theoretical aspect of the course: the dissection of important 20th century and contemporary works and highlighting their singularities. We will listen to productions and pieces in order to talk about them and understand the technical, scenographic, political, historical or creative process thereof, leading to a reflection on writing with temporality.

We will discuss the place of women and minorities in the field of contemporary music, which is predominantly white and male.

The same questions will be applied to the performance: we will watch videos, dissect a show to analyze the system and its issues and think about a performance in its entirety.

Existing in the contemporary musical world is not limited to making music. It is important to approach and discuss the different aspects constituting it, whether they are performative, social, media, commercial, political or technical.

Course in the form of critical debate around the fundamental movements of 20th and 21st century music, screening of documentaries, films, listening and analysis of pieces and musical performances.
