Electronic Music

(2.5-5 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This is a practical module offering students the opportunity to work in small groups in the Music Centre's studio to create music from electronic sources. Accompanying lectures and seminars examine the history of electronic music, amplified music, and computer music and look at works by significant composers and innovators who have worked in these genres, from Stockhausen to Jmi Hendrix. The module also offers tuition in music software packages such as Sibelius, Logic and Ableton Live. No prior experience in electronic music is necessary in order to take the module, but some knowledge of music notation or music theory would be advantageous.
