Welcome to Sound Projects

Sound, Noise, Silence, and Music - how do we define them? When we listen to these elements critically, how can we use them in our own work with an awareness of their social and political functions? This course will explore developments in sound art from the early-20th century to the present, to cultivate a critical ear for listening and creating. We will listen to work by artists who have blurred traditional boundaries of music, science, design, fine arts, and philosophy, and read critical writings in cultural studies, sound and media theory.

Music and Its Others

Kenneth Goldsmith wrote several wonderful, witty and brief articles all summarized in Bring Da Noise: A Brief Survey of Sound Art. This is interesting reading for those who want to dig deeper into "Music and Its Others".

Kenneth Goldsmith has been doing a weekly show on WFMU, the New Jersey-based freeform radio station since 1995, where Goldsmith assumes the broadcast name of Kenny G. The show is an extension of Goldsmith's writing experiments, his pedagogy and UbuWeb. More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Goldsmith
