This seminar is centered on a series of ten lectures, by nine UCSD music faculty members and one guest, that explore the use of the human voice as a musical instrument from a variety of perspectives. The speakers include composers, performers, and researchers. The end goal is to establish a publicly available repository of knowledge and ideas that will be of use to musicians everywhere. Not accidentally, this will also serve to showcase the high quality and diversity of thought and experience to be found in the UCSD music department.
Videos are available here.

All but three of the meetings (including the first one) will be cut short in order to avoid conflicting with Weds@7 concerts. On April 10 we will stay longer to get organized as a class, and May 29 and June 5 there will be time for students to present their own work or ideas. We'll also carve out some time finals week as needed to hear from all participants.
