Students will be
expected to listen to, analyse and critique a prescribed list of
electroacoustic compositions as well as demonstrating how this informs their
own practice in one to one composition tutorials. Bi-weekly composition
seminars will allow students to discuss their own work within the context of
that of pioneers and established composers in a variety of genres drawn from
electroacoustic music and sound art.
By
the end of the course, students will:
- demonstrate knowledge and understanding of different approaches to
different compositional methodologies involving composing with sound;
- display a knowledge and understanding of the musical, structural and
technical aspects of the compositional process;
- communicate a knowledge and understanding of the techniques and
aesthetic processes involved in creating electroacoustic music and sound art;
- demonstrate ability to take on board advice and suggestions from peer
group composers through discussion and sharing of work and to deliver astute
and appropriate criticism of the work of others.
