Aims

The aims of this module are to provide the students with the: 1. Specific technical skills and experience to compose original music/sound works. 2. Opportunities to collaborate with other music artists as a co-writer and/or arranger.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:This module will also focus on the analysis of prominent works in the musical repertoire to build on the skills acquired in Music Theory 1 and Critical Listening modules. The module will explore the techniques and best-practices for the student to produce their own musical compositions and explore how to apply these skills when in collaboration with other music artists. The students are asked to breakdown selected prominent works drawn from a range of applicable compositional contexts including songwriting, minimalism, serialism, beat making and electroacoustic music. The module shows how to then optimise the found elements of the analysis into practical compositional tools with their own work.
Additional Information:Assessment is via two compositions of music.
