MF DOOM and Pierre Henry
MUSC 105
Fall 2024 		Section: 01  

This course will explore the relationship between hip hop and musique concrete by investigating the works of MF DOOM and Pierre Henry. The music of both employs the full range of sound through techniques of turntablism and sound sampling. In this course, we will explore the basic processes of sampling and field recording and use the compositional methods of DOOM and Henry in the creation of our own pieces. In this process, we will also examine the role of these methods in the history of hip hop and musique concrete. Course work will consist of weekly writing assignments and discussions plus monthly creative compositional assignments. Any choice of sampling software may be used in the completion of those assignments.
