The Rhythm of Pens and Pencils

Students in James Garrison's Music Production course record the sound of pens and pencils hitting a variety of surfaces, load those sound files into a digital recording and editing software, and then manipulate the sounds to create beats and rhythm tracks.
In Music Production, students compose, notate, and create audio recordings using digital sound-synthesis and recording equipment. Students compile a portfolio of polished pieces that reflect a clear concept of form and structure through the controlled use of specified musical elements. Students will demonstrate an understanding of the mechanics and psychology of sound production, propagation, and perception, and will use a variety of equipment to create/collect sound sources and apply editing and production techniques.
