Bachelor of Creative Arts (Sound - Composition and Production)
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
Classes 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).
