This course welcomes all compositional strategies, and will work closely with rhetoric, a metadiscipline that works like glue, connecting listeners, performers, and composers, always doing its part in the infrastructure of the disciplines, both humanities and science-based. Rhetoric is usually understood as a way of transforming the feelings, ideas and opinions of others, but you can use rhetoric as an investigative tool as well. For example, by studying the language, sounds, and images used in your field of study or ethical paradigm, you will learn a great deal about what that field of study takes for granted, which will help you learn to learn.
