Sound - Composition & Production

UAC Code: 75406

This major explores the creation and manipulation of sound, in particular through the use of digital technologies. It will be suitable for students from a traditional music background as well as those who have developed an interest in sound design and music composition through computer-based technologies. The design of sound for multi-media applications will form a significant component of the major.

Students' creativity will be extended through studies in:

• theory of sound (acoustics)
• composition (electronic media/ improvisational and traditional)
• computer music applications
• critical listening skills

Seminars addressing all aspects of sound studies will give students the opportunity to interact with their peers and with visiting professional sound artists.

Specific Entry Requirements

Applicants need to present original examples of their work (scores and recordings).
