Description This module will provide students who have developed skills and techniques in studio-based composition to undertake a project-based course working with artworks in the Barber Institute of Fine Arts. The module will begin with an overview of composers, both contemporary and historical, who have worked with image, and consider writings on the subjects of image and place in music. The practical project will begin with a recording session (with the option to undertake field-recordings) to gather sound material and will be supported with seminars and one-to-one and group tutorials. The module will culminate in the installation of the works in the gallery providing practical experience of curating and event management.
Learning Outcomes By the end of the module students should be able to:
  • Undertake studio-based and / or field recordings to gather source material.
  • Demonstrate an awareness of the influence of image in music, in particular, electroacoustic and electronic musics.
  • Critically evaluate writings related to sound and image
  • Produce a piece of music directly to accompany a visual artwork showing a good level of technical competence and creativity.
