MUS6017   Creative Foundation   (30 credits)

Description

Creative Foundation introduces students to a wide range of compositional methods and techniques as found in the sonic arts. Students are encouraged to think about individual sound objects, layers and interactions between such objects, alongside larger compositional structures and forms. The module does not foreground music technologies. However, students will be introduced to a range of different technologies and use these to create small etudes before composing a larger work. Examples drawn from the sonic arts cannon will be presented and considered throughout the module.
