| Description: | FRT-101-12: Soundtracks and How Sound Tracks. Mollie Ables is a musicologist and digital humanist specializing in music in seventeenth-century Venice. Other research interests include Jewish musical ethnography in the early twentieth century and music videos in the late twentieth century. If you want to get her off topic, ask her about running, baking, or her dogs. You hear music every day and practically everywhere. Some of this is intentional, like when you choose and listen to a specific song. Some music you listen to but maybe you didn't pick it, like when Spotify creates a playlist for you. Other music is in your life whether you like it or not, like that really annoying commercial jingle or a song playing from someone else's car. Music is used in movies, television, and video games to change the meaning of what we see on screen. How does this music affect you and why? Music is played all the time in public spaces like stores or gyms. Who decides what is played where? In this tutorial we will study soundtracks in the cinematic sense as well as the soundtracks of our everyday lives. We'll distinguish between active and passive listening and investigate what factors lead to these different kinds of listening. We'll also explore social, cultural, economic, and technological elements that shape your listening experience every day and develop skills to critically assess and interpret this experience. |
