Computation
Students are expected to actively engage in live coding sessions, contribute to class discussions, and explore both theoretical and practical aspects of notation and algorithmic performance. Regular participation, experimentation, and collaboration are key. Assignments will include reading reflections, notation design exercises, and live coding exercises or performances.
This class covers advanced technical and theoretical concepts, but is open to all levels. No prior coding experience is required, but a strong interest in or familiarity with (live) coding, music, or performance is highly recommended.
