Modular Synthesis: Sound Art & Intuition

This course provides an overview of modular synthesis and how to draw on your intuition during the creative process.

Los Angeles-based producer and composer Collins Oboh will cover the fundamental components of the modular synthesizer using the free, open-source software VCV Rack.

Through hands-on application and theoretical insights, participants will learn how to synthesize original sounds, textures, and rhythms for their compositions.

We will examine the historical context and pioneers of electronic music and music concrete such as Wendy Carlos, Daphne Oram, Raymond Scott, and Pierre Schaeffer.

At the end of the course participants will have an opportunity to present their work.
