Synopsis:
Over the past 4 decades DJing has evolved from simply playing records over the airwaves to an internationally recognized art form. From turntablism ( using a turntable as an instrument by manipulating records in a way that creates percussive elements and other sounds not present on the record) to creating mash-ups ( i.e. Girl Talk) this practicum will give students the opportunity to learn about the cultural history of DJing while providing a hands-on environment to learn the essential skills of DJing. From set-up and signal flow to scratching and mixing, we will cover and practice all the various types of DJing elements. Some of the equipment and programs used will be turntables, mixers, CD tables, Kaoss pad, Traktor, Reason and Ableton Live. Come experience the culture of DJing with Pat the Cat and DJ Anlog.
