This page is a resource for two courses I am currently teaching at Austin Community College. I am also teaching MUSC 1333 – Synthesis I. If you are interested in these courses and have any questions, please feel free to email me.
MUSC 1371 – Introduction to Modular Synthesis
This course examines introductory concepts of modular synthesis and visual programming (i.e.: Reaktor, Max/MSP). Students will learn how to use various software to build custom instruments (subtractive synths, sequencers, and basic audio effects), as well as receive an introduction to object-oriented programming using the open source language ChucK. Additional concepts include granular synthesis, sampling, and basic signal processing, as well as an introduction into generative and probability-based electronic composition.

MUSP 1223 – Applied Synthesis
Applied Synthesis is an independent study course that allows students to work one on one with the instructor on various synthesis topics agreed upon by both instructor and student. Please contact me for more information regarding available times, topics, etc.
