#14. Come Out (1966): Come Out is a 1966 piece by American composer
Steve Reich. He was asked to write this piece to be performed at a
benefit for the retrial of the Harlem Six, six black youths arrested
for committing a murder during the Harlem Riot of 1964 for which only
one of the six was responsible. Truman Nelson, a civil rights activist
and the person who had asked Reich to compose the piece, gave him a
collection of tapes with recorded voices to use as source material.
Nelson, who chose Reich on the basis of his earlier work It's Gonna
Rain, agreed to give him creative freedom for the project.

Sound is a major component of the environment: it’s what we listen to as music and what we endure in noisy urban life; it’s an expression of science and art, as well as of social, political and psychological aspects of our lives.
The course is an interdisciplinary investigation of sound. We will consider the role of sound in all the arts and in contemporary life and thought.
The semester will be organized around topics within the study of sound: defining sound, sound space, sound and image relationships, voice, sound technology and notions of public/private; of globalization and modes of culture; anthropology of sound and sonic ethnomusicology, sound textures, noise and silence past and present. Guest speakers will speak on those subjects; we will have readings and in class discussion. During the semester each of you will produce several sound-based projects and two short writings.
