Adjunct Faculty in Music Technology (New York University Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development)

Description NYU Steinhardt Department of Music and Performing Arts Professions (MPAP) Music Technology Program seeks qualified candidates to teach in the following fields: Advanced Computer Music (Graduate Level) Focuses on artistic creation with digital audio, honing both technical and aesthetic skills. Students work through exercises using a variety of platforms, learn to critique and help improve each other's work, and explore unfamiliar techniques and styles to extend and enrich the idioms of their prior practice. Students analyze landmark compositions from the history of computer music as well as contemporary electronic genres. Course culminates with a public performance of student work. Mixing in the Digital Audio Workstation (Graduate & Undergraduate Combined) This course explores the art and craft of mixing records, with special attention to “mixing in the box” (via a digital audio workstation). Focus on methodology and technique, with particular emphasis on establishing balances, using such tools as compression and automation to enhance dynamics and develop unique coloration. Examines intersection of technology, budgets, and the marketplace. Students execute their own mixes, with guidance and critique from the instructor. Electronic Music Performance (Graduate & Undergraduate Combined) This course is designed for instrumentalists, composers, and electronic musicians who want to explore performing with electronic music (analog or digital/software-based) using historical and contemporary methods in an ensemble performance environment. Techniques for live sound processing, synthesis or interactive elements can be integrated into their work using alternative controllers and devices. An end-of-semester concert will be planned. Fundamentals of Music Technology (Undergraduate Level) A general introduction to the fundamental concepts of music technology including the physics of sound, room and musical acoustics, analog and digital audio, sound recording, mixing, and mastering, as well as analog and digital sound synthesis and sampling techniques. Midi for Non-Majors (Undergraduate Level) An introduction to MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) with an emphasis on sequencing, production and arranging techniques. Open to students without previous experience in music technology. Digital Electronics Lab (Undergraduate Level) Hands-on lab accompanying Digital Electronics Lecture. Lab sessions will contain hands-on experience with logic circuits & microcontrollers. The course culminates with a student developed final project.
