Expressive Control Lab

ILEL-113

This course explores strategies to create expressive instrumental performances using electronic instruments. Students use a variety of pedals, ribbons, knobs, sliders, wheels, or aftertouch to control musical effects such as pitch bend, vibrato, tremolo, dynamics, and timbral change. Special attention is paid to the relationship between controllers and synthesizer parameters. Students work with MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) controllers such as the Roli Seaboard Rise and the Linnstrument as well as standard MIDI controllers in solo and group settings.
