This course will enable you to work creatively with music technology. You will compose and mix music, and you will explore the many creative uses of sound in the Media Industries. You will develop knowledge and skills to support your own creativity, including critical listening, arranging, and sound recording. In addition, you will learn about principles of the underlying technology, and you will write your own computer programs in an easy-to-learn visual language.
Producing music or sound for media projects is an important part of this course. For example, you will learn to compose music for film, and have the opportunity to collaborate with students from Radio, Animation, TV Production and other creative courses.
Students on BA Music Technology have access to state of the art Music Technology facilities, including a dedicated computer lab with a wide range of music software, and two recording studios.
