Experience a mixture of recording, sound design, composition and music in this one-of-a-kind week-long camp designed for middle and high schoolers. This camp is all about young artists making music with technology. Supported by the LSU Center for Computation & Technology as part of their Cultural Computing focus, this course incorporates sound engineering, music composition, and live musical performance with technology.
- You’ll make music with iPads, computer instruments, and each other; record, edit, and sequence sound; compose your own music; and design cinema - for the ears. No experience required in either music or technology, just an open mind and open ears.
- Learn to record, mix, engineer, produce, and create music and sound for the music industry, movies, video games, and more.
- Work on the same audio equipment the professionals use, gain knowledge from industry-experienced instructors, and develop your talent for the recording and experimental sound arts.
- You'll even learn how to add music and sound to video clips.
Musical topics on composition, form, and notation will be covered as groups form and hone musical performances. A concert will showcase their fixed media works as well as live performances at the conclusion of the week.
