Study with experts at the cutting-edge of technical, creative and theoretical knowledge in this rapidly evolving area of study. The course focuses upon the relationship between technology and creative practice, training musical students to use software tools and enabling students with a solid music technology background to investigate creative opportunities. Initial intensive training in the knowledge and methods of the field is followed by opportunities for increasingly independent research and exploration.
We take a broad and inclusive view of the sonic arts, embracing anything from sound installations to free-improvised performances, computer programming through to fine art practice, art in which sound is the medium and where sound
plays a supporting role.
