The CCSS course at Studio for Electronic Music (StEM), led by Marco Bidin, aims primarily to provide the essential tools to develop a musical and technical awareness of computer-generated sounds. For this purpose, the group focuses on working in OpenMusic, especially with the library OM-Chroma.

Thanks to the intuitive visual programming in the OpenMusic environment, the students engage in learning the classic synthesis techniques, experimenting with creative methods of control, and in including the generated sounds in their compositional thinking and formalisation of musical ideas. The students also learn a critical approach to the sound results by active listening, spectral analysis in Audiosculpt, and revising the synthesis information from the CSound scores generated by OM-Chroma.
