degrees in sound art

[erik schoster]

Hi all -

Are there sound art degree programs out there?  I'm interested
especially in something that would have the critical and textual
engagement a traditional art or literature degree would have, but
obviously with a complete focus on sound.  On this list it probably goes
without saying, but I mean sound art as in acousmatic composition and
related territory not the art of sound recording or studio recording.

Thanks!

Erik

There is a sound art program at the Art Institute of Chicago (pricey
though). Lou Melozzi is in charge of the program, so there is a
leaning toward his particular aesthetic. I used to listen to their
radio show every week when I lived in Chicago.

The magazine the wire usually has some advertisements for sound/experimental art courses towards the back

Hi Justin, Erik, et al.

The Sound department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago offers an MFA degree. Lou Mallozzi  isn't in charge of the program, but his effort in creating a genuine sonic arts curriculum has made a last impact.

Nicolas Collins and Shawn Decker have been trading off on the heading the department. I teach there, too. All of us faculty have a shared role in shaping the curriculum. The number of courses, faculty, and students has consistently expanded since the 1990s. (The department began in the early 70s.) If I recall correctly, our MFA program in sound began in 2004.

Very soon we'll have an up-to-date, functioning website for the department that will surpass this (low-functioning) page: http://www.saic.edu/degrees_resources/departments/sound/index.html

Hey Justin, was that weekly radio program you listened to in Chicago called "something else"?

If so, that was, and still is hosted by Philip von Zweck, on Sunday nights on WLUW 88.7 FM, since 1995.

Best regards,
Eric

Yes, I think that was the radio show. I am sure it was on Sunday
nights. This was the early nineties so my memories are a bit hazy and
I clearly got confused about some of the details. That show introduced
me to some really great music.

Hi Erik,

We have both MA and PhD programs in Sonic Arts at SARC. You can get a bit of the flavor of the program from the degree program links on our website, and I can answer any questions that might arise.

Best wishes,

Eric

Hei Erik --

I'm just about to head to Sydney to finish off my PhD at the University
of Technology Sydney where they've got an interesting sound art program
-- actually I'll be teaching a nice course called "Ways of Listening"...
-- and Sydney has a pretty good sonic art scene as well...

There is the sound program that's part of the Media Lab (at the Univ of
Art  & Design Helsinki) run by Antti Ikonen as well as CMT, the Center
for Music and Technology at the Sibelius Akademie in Helsinki...

I've taught at UdK-Berlin, and wasn't aware of the sound studies program
(I teach in another MA Institute), but if you could get into that
program, Berlin is really happening regarding sonic art things at all
levels...

Sorry, no links, but you can google some of the names...

cheers,
JOhn

Say, microsounders -- a semi-tech question -- I've been using an H4 Zoom
  to do my field recording over the last couple years, and as some of
you know, they have LAME wind socks.  I did buy some hairy material at
the local fabric shop to make a custom one like the one I found online
for USD 50, but haven't gotten around to it yet...

Does anyone have links or advice on filtering parameters for running,
say, a low-cut filter that is either general for any wind noises, or
specific filter parameters for the H4?  Or just a general discussion of
wind noise?

I've been editing bits out of my samples and saving to a master
wind-noiz audio file which I will use some day for something, but I'd
like to get more agile with eliminating problems from my files via DSP...

cheers & thanks!

JOhn
