Five Obstructions
MCO4125.01
Course Description
Summary
A song feedback collective, focused on how musical restrictions can spur us to growth. Over the course of the term, students will write 5 songs (or revise a single song in radical ways) based on the critique and decisions of the group. We鈥檒l discuss how to form supportive but insightful critique while challenging each other to go new places. What does it take to create a song based on someone else鈥檚 text, completely a capella, or without a single chord? How do you welcome in new materials and collaborators, from across genre and style?Prerequisites
