Course Description
This course will strive to combine the physics of sound and the physics of glass. As a starting point the class investigate traditional Korean musical instruments and the music/sound from Korean ensembles; both traditional and contemporary. Our discoveries will lead to hands on experimentation with generating sound with glass using, among other things, its frequency and vibration patterns. The topic of instruments and glass will be approached in both a cultural and scientific manner. Students will be encouraged to innovate and to think conceptually about sound, glass, music and musical instruments. The class will work on at least one project with live music.
