EMDM Academy Summer Camps
The music world has changed in amazing ways with the integration of technology. Whether you like laying down guitar tracks for a blues album or sequencing beats for a movie trailer, participating in the music scene today is a lot smoother if you know a little technology.
In the Experimental Music & Digital Media program at LSU, we like to take tech to the extreme, but everybody needs to start somewhere. Join us this summer for our EMDM Academy summer camps where we mix equal parts music making, interactive technology, composition, recording, film scoring, computer programming, and performance! We offer two camps that will treat your ears as well as your mind to the field of music.
Girl’s Rock 2015

June 15-19 – Girls grades 6-9 Integrating the Arts with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics is what this camp is about. Experiment with wildly new instruments; compose music as a band and invent notation to write down your ideas; record, edit and engineer music for video; perform your own music with new friends. In this camp we make technology accessible and expose musical topics through projects that cover the entire week. These girls gain the skills and confidence to create video, music, and perform. In short, they Rock! This summer, join us and learn to make technology sing commercial water slides for sale.

July 27-31, All experience levels from grades 9-12 (Students grade 6-8 will be allowed to enroll if they’ve had some computer experience – the Girl’s Rock or other CCT summer camps are excellent primers). Experience a mixture of science and the arts in this one-week camp designed for curious minds with musical interests. Learn to program in javascript to live code music in a web browser. Learn to make your own web audio instruments in Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Music topics like composition, musical form, and notation will be covered eventually forming groups and honing musical performances. Final projects will be performed at a live concert at the conclusion of the week. Participants will learn how to publish their instruments and performances through the web.
