This course is intended primarily for those with experience of music technology who wish to explore the field in more depth, or broaden their experience in interdisciplinary and multimedia work; it would also benefit those with a general musical background who wish to gain more experience working with technology, and those with experience in media-based technologies who wish to focus on sound; the University take a creative and experimental approach, whilst remaining non genre-specific; the course spans a wide variety of styles and approaches, and is of interest to those involved in such areas as electro-acoustic/acousmatic music, soundscape, acoustic ecology, computer music, sound/sonic art, electronica, visual music and audiovisual work; the emphasis of the course is largely practical, giving students the opportunity to produce a substantial body of creative work over the duration of the course; students engage with a wide variety of technical and creative skills; these range from classic techniques derived from areas such as musique concrete and visual music to more contemporary practice, and include advanced skills such as software development using Max/MSP/Jitter and multimedia skills; the course also includes a grounding in postgraduate-level research methodology, and opportunities to collaborate with other musicians, performers and media practitioners.
Skills Portfolio (this module is offered to allow students to garner any technical and creative skills they need for the rest of the course; context and methodology (this module is intended to fulfil the requirements of a research methodology module; however, since a large part of the this programme is practice-based, and the methodology for this aspect of students� work is covered by other modules in the programme, it is intended to combine a study of research methodology with a study of context in terms of the student�s own practice, specifically of a set of paradigms that characterise the field�s current, creative boundaries; the primary teaching method for this module is a weekly lecture/seminar, with some tutorial sessions that focus on pathway specialism; electroacoustic composition techniques (option); visual music (option); collaborative and interdisciplinary practice; major project.
