Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The module explores the creation and the performance of music/sound-based works for live electronics as well as the musical interaction with acoustic instruments and audio signals. The student analyses prominent works from the live electronics music repertoire and learns the specific skills and techniques as they apply to composition, performance and programming. The module also covers use of the software and hardware tools most commonly found in the execution of a live electronic music performance. Though the student must create original works to be presented for assessment they are able to perform either their own pieces or the original works of others in the group.
Additional Information:The module allows students to engage with and demonstrate a multi layered performance including the use of live electronics. Assessment is via two separate presentations.
