Computer Musicianship is a course designed with two goals in mind:
1) to teach a composer the equipment, software and techniques associated with computer music and 2) to open one’s ears to the sounds of the natural world around us, thus exposing participants to perhaps the most fertile and underused source for new music: the world in which we live. Computer Musicianship teaches participants how to use recording technology and to manipulate and sequence sound on a number of software platforms, while also looking at live electronic music. In addition to focusing on techniques, the course familiarizes participants to the more than seventy-years-worth of music associated with the electronic music genre.
In 2011, the Computer Musicianship classes were taught by Sam Pluta.
