Description: This interdisciplinary course follows the path of sound from creation, through propagation, to reception. Through demonstrations, discussion, and interactive projects, students survey the science, engineering, and technology involved in musical instruments and music production. How do acoustic and electronic musical instruments function? How does sound behave in enclosed spaces and why?  How does one capture, manipulate and reproduce sound? And how do our ears and brains intervene on the receiving end? Open to all interested students.
The course is required for students in the Electronic and Acoustic Instrument Design emphases, and is an elective for students in the Sound Recording and Production emphasis.
