Introduction to sound language in the fields of matter, plasticity and spatiality.
Study of the sound plasticity.
Study of sound work as an artistic practice.
Technological and workshop introduction, the essential foundation for this practice.
Acquisition of theoretical knowledge, in conjunction with field work and studio, allowing the inclusion of this artistic practice in contemporary context.
Understanding the basics of acoustics.
Understanding and implementation of mechanisms and fundamental aspects of the recording / capture and playback of digital sound.
Development of individual and collective instruments of analysis and reflection on the work done.
Creating extended habits and working methods, and its valuation with the experimentation.

Program
The discipline of Audio will be dedicated to the introduction to the technique, theoretical and technological learning in the sound medium, with particular emphasis on recording and reproduction of sound and their use in the contexts of artistic practices. Principles of digital audio recording will be studied and tested various methods for capturing and recording sound and their subsequent modeling and diffusion.
The plasticity of sound will be studied:
- Object
- Structure
- Space
Will also be studied:
The language-specific sound in plastic production.
The surround-sound and captured: similarities and differences
Appropriation-interpretations of the sounds.
Mechanisms of diffusion of sound in space.
