1 Music, Art, and Biology: Critical Analysis and Creative Response Courtney Brown Class Description This course looks at the relationship between biology, art, and music. We will examine scientific research, essays by artists and composers, and conduct informal experiments. You will be expected to respond to the material in class with music compositions and creative work that engages the topics. Assessment Listening and reading projects will be assigned for each class. Most of the readings will be posted online, and the rest will be on reserve in the library. There will be no required textbook. There will be regular pop quizzes in class on the reading and listening, and four creative projects. There will be no make-up quizzes, but lowest quiz grade will be dropped. Classroom participation is required, and lack of participation and attendance will result in a lowered grade. Grading 10% Class participation and discussion 10% Pop quizzes 40% Assignments 40% Final Project Assignments Assignment 1: Bird song Part 1: Provide an analysis of bird song. You may use traditional musical notation, or a notation of your own devising. If you use your own notation, you must provide a key and explanations for it. Part 2: Compose a 30 second piece based on the bird song you analyze. You may use the same structure of the birdsong, the same melody, or you may even use the sample in an electro-acoustic work. Provide a short description of the work that answers the following questions: How did you incorporate bird song into your work? Why did you choose this method? How is your piece different from bird song? Assignment 2: Music Cognition/Perception Part 1: Research an aspect of cognition, perception, human psychology, or the voice. Eg. auditory illusions. Write a description of your findings. Do not forget to cite your sources words. Part 2: Compose a 30 second piece of music that engages with the topic that you have chosen. Provide a short description of the work that answers the following questions: How does your work engage this topic? What elements, specifically, contribute to the effect? In your opinion, how transparent is your treatment of the concepts? How reliant is this piece on the conceptual
2 framework? How might this piece be misread? What are the consequences of such a misinterpretation? Assignment 3: Conduct an informal breaching experiment. Violate a social norm, and then write about your experience. What did it mean to break the social norm? Why did you choose that particular transgression? What were the reactions of the other people? Can you justify your actions in an artistic context? Why or why not? Aim for around 500 words. FINAL PROJECT: Create a piece of art or music that engages biological ideas and elements. Part 1: Proposal Write a formal proposal for your project. Describe your project and how it engages with biology. Place it in the context of the work we discussed in class (or what we will go over in the future). Create a timeline for its completion. Part 2: Progress Report and Artist Statement Describe your progress thus far. Have you encountered any problems? Write an essay describing the biological and/or psychological concepts and ideas that your project engages. This essay should be around 1000 words. Part 3: Completed Project. Give a 10-minute presentation showing or performing your work and explaining why you created it. Introduction Week 1: What is music?
