Audio Technology

Sound and Screen

This module will help you to assess, create and manipulate audiovisual relationships across linear media such as film and television, before moving on to explore the implications of non-linear and interactive media.

This studio-focussed module blends cutting-edge record production practice and contemporary research themes, moving from record analysis and a literature review into a large-scale, self-directed recording project. The module makes use of our SSL-equipped recording studios, and you will have access to a range of guest talks and masterclasses.

The Research and Development module initially explores the nature of innovation, then moves on to examine a variety of research processes specifically relevant to the subject. Towards the end of the module the emphasis then shifts to the development of an individual research design/proposal that may form the basis of your final Audio Technology Project.

Engaging with the flourishing New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) scene, this practical module is focussed on the prototyping and evaluation of new physical and/or virtual interfaces and instruments for a variety of music, audio and sound-related contexts.

The Music Computing module explores the development and applications of code in music and audio-related contexts. In carrying out the practical assignment, you will critically evaluate, understand the differences between, and demonstrate mastery of common audio programming languages in the realisation of your ideas.

The Audio Technology Project is an opportunity for students to pursue a substantial, self-directed project in a chosen area of audio technology or music technology. Interdisciplinary collaboration is possible and encouraged.
