South Asian Music
This course introduces students to the musical practices of South Asia—Hindustani, Carnatic, Bollywood, Sufi, Indipop, and other folk and popular traditions—and then traces these sounds and aesthetics as they echo through time and across the globe, transforming through hybrid styles, orientalist fantasies, cross-cultural collaborations, and sample-based remixing.

Dissecting the DAW
This hands-on course offers students an introduction to key concepts of realizing music in the studio. Topics include: analog and digital workflows, microphone types, acoustics, digital editing, mixing, mastering, MIDI orchestration, sampling, and studio monitoring and routing. Digital audio workstations (colloquially abbreviated as “DAWs”) such as Garageband, Logic Pro, ProTools, and Ableton, are arguably the most ubiquitous tools used for creating music.
