Description The module will be taught in a variety of ways: in addition to 'straight' lectures, there will be demonstrations, workshops, electroacoustic studio sessions (including familiarity with computer-based editing, mixing and signal processing software) tutorials, and guided listening and reading. The aim is to stimulate the growth of composition and to use all available means to achieve it. Attendance at the weekly MiniBEAST listening sessions in the Dome Room is also encouraged.
Learning Outcomes By the end of the module students should be able to:
  • Develop an awareness of issues in 20th-century electroacoustic composition.
  • Develop sustained and concentrated thought in electroacoustic music and the skills required to articulate it.
  • Demonstrate a familiarity and capability with relevant technology and with works in the electroacoustic genre.
  • Compose a short electroacoustic piece.
  • Demonstrate an awareness of relevant techniques, repertoire, and history of electroacoustic and other related music.
