Field Recording

Students in this course will learn the field recording techniques necessary for capturing audio on location for use in digital radio productions, podcasts, cultural documentation projects, music compositions, and other audio productions. These skills will be learned in the broader context of the cultural history of radio and other audio mass media, the relationship between the history of field recording and audio technology and broader cultural shifts in the U.S., and issues related to professional and cultural ethics and decolonialist fieldwork practices.
