Description In small groups, students will develop a creative music/sound and multimedia project. The multimedia aspects can include any subset of video, art, text, lighting, digital technology, installations, sound spatialisation, and algorithmic sound/music generation. Students will learn how to integrate music and sound with multimedia; develop their skills in audio and video software; and create interactions between software and hardware devices. Students will gain experience in collaborating on a creative project and contextualising and promoting their work within a broader cultural and intercultural context. Students will be exposed to ways in which music multimedia is used in professional contexts such as web-design, public art, and music software development. The teaching material comprises pre-recorded lectures and guided workshops undertaken on campus.
