Three related analytical frames will shape our discussions: 1) industrial and technological history (the material conditions for the making and distribution of popular music and mov-ing images) 2) the question of "liveness" in recorded audiovisual media and 3) aesthetics of various popular music styles as translated into audiovisual forms and contexts.
The course is in seminar format. The ability to read music is not required but students with music reading or transcription skills will be encouraged to draw upon these tools.
Pre-requisites: graduate status or completion of a 300-level FMS or Music course and permission of the instructor.
Credit 3 units. REQUIRED SCREENING TIME: Wednesdays at 4:00 p.m.
