The Fall 2022 lineup of music & technology classes from EMDM

Paired with ART 4240 Special Topics: XR Performance

Performance and live events such as concerts, opening ceremonies, theatrical productions, and other spectacles are using light, sound, and technology to extend reality in rapidly evolving ways. This course engages the intersection of electronic music, visualization, performer, and audience. We will focus on creating real-time music, sound, and performance that respond and interact with graphics, lighting, and illusion on a large LED wall in LSU’s new XR Studio environment. Experimental and traditional tools for content creation will be explored as a part of the production pipeline such as Max (Jitter), Unreal Engine, Notch, and TouchDesigner. Other strategies for interaction and reaction such as motion capture, sensors, and computer vision will be covered. The course is project based and will entail a series of lessons that pave the way for original XR performances that combine physical sets with digital graphics.
