Course Content (Syllabus)
In an interview visual artist Marcel Duchamp called his work “breathing” instead of art. More specifically, he said: “I like living, breathing better than working...my art is that of living. Each second, each breath is a work which is inscribed nowhere, which is neither visual nor cerebral…”
The course “Time in Music. Music in Time” aims to help students examine the philosophical, psychological, sensory, and organizational processes involved in the temporal experience of music and the way learning occurs. In addition, significant attention will be devoted to the role of time in culture and its many uses and functions will be tackled and related to the musical experience.
Topics to be covered will include:
1) The temporal dimension of sound,
2) The relation of music to other social rhythms and durations,
3) The relation of music listening to memory and beliefs about subjectivity, diachrony, stasis, reversibility, “time of the other,”
4) The effects of multimedia, interactivity, and cyberspace on the experience of social and musical time.
5) The relationship between musical time and space as it appears in improvisation, soundscapes, film, and other inter-artistic practices.
