COMD-361 Sound Design<\/strong><\/h3>\n

COMD-361 Sound Design<\/em> is an introductory course designed to create and improve students’ awareness of and respect for sound in relation to visual media. Students are introduced to basic audio production and post-production techniques for video and film.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

COMD-362 Sound Design II<\/strong><\/h3>\n

COMD-362 Sound Design II<\/em> is the continuation of COMD-361 Sound Design<\/em>.\u00a0Students are introduced to advanced audio post-production techniques for video and film. This course also explores components and creative potential of sound design in order to enhance communication through artistic and expressive uses of sound.<\/p>\n

Here’s a video, a project created by Serda Ceren Sa\u011fba\u015f and Arda Tezok as a sound design term project.\u00a0Except for the bass guitar, the music does not contain any “real” instruments or synthesizers… All the sounds that you hear in the song are sampled and manipulated sounds of keys, keychains, zipper, dice etc., and sounds that they made by their mouths or by their hands…<\/p>\n
