Faculty of the VCA and Music School of Music (Parkville)

Time Capsule

A new disc featuring the best electro-acoustic works created by Faculty of Music students over the last decade under the supervision of Dr. Stuart Greenbaum and Mr. David Collins.

Students enrolled in Introduction to Electro-Acoustic Music (740-356) since 1998 have been required to record sounds in the natural environment, including community spaces, and then to re-interpret the ‘sounds’ of our environment through computer processing and digital deconstruction of audio samples. These range from a response to the bombing of the world trade centre towers, to choirs of singing sheep and rap rhythms generated from the slamming of old car doors and basketballs. It is a document of what the next generation hear in the environment that surrounds us.
