Research on Hybrid Teaching in the Experimental Teaching of Principles of Computer Composition

Aiming at the issue of professional engineering certification, this article introduces the hybrid teaching method to the teaching of Principles of Computer Composition, as the core course of computer specialty in applied undergraduate colleges, as well as discusses the experimental teaching method of this course. The teaching scheme is designed in the aspects of experimental teaching platform, teaching content, and student achievement assessment. By making full use of online and offline resources, this teaching method realizes the diversification of learning materials and learning means, the three-dimensional learning space and learning time, as well as effectively improves the teaching effect and quality.

"THE STARRY WIND OF CASSIOPEIA" BY VICTOR ULYANICH: EXPERIENCE IN ANALYSING COMPUTER AND AUDIOVISUAL COMPOSITIONS

The article regards two versions of the work "The Starry Wind of Cassiopeia" by composer Viktor Ulyanich. The first is an eponymous composition, written in 1990 on a UPIC musical computer in the Paris studio of Iannis Xenakis, the second is an audiovisual work "Cassiopeia", which was the result of creative collaboration between Viktor Ulyanich and the artist Olga Kumeger. Compositions are presented as fundamentally synesthetic phenomena, since in both cases the graphical and musical components are inextricably linked. In the first case, timbres are synthesized through the lines; in the second, they participate in the formation of a new artistic unit. The stage of pre-composition work is a very important phase in the creative process for Viktor Ulyanich. This is the period of ideas defining the formation of the artistic image and the organization of the musical fabric. Here, such an idea was the recognizable w-shaped arrangement of the five brightest stars in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It became the basis of the work's dramaturgy, its dynamic and register plan, and was reflected in the color-graphic matrix and graphic timbre-themed elements, thereby determining the fractal nature of the computer composition.
