Contents

On this course, themes such as pre-production, the history of music technology, sequencing, sampling, notation, programming, acoustics, electronics, post-production, recording practice etc. are included.

Teaching and learning methods

There are four gatherings, each lasting two days. The gatherings will comprise practical exercises, lectures, seminar discussions and presentations and discussions of papers from the participants.

Examination requirements

  • The candidates will prepare a paper in which connections are made between relevant practical knowledge within the field, relevant literature, and the candidate’s own thesis project. The paper should be a maximum of 10 pages long. The paper shall be made available before the gathering, and is to be presented at it.
  • The candidate shall provide a prepared commentary on another candidate’s paper.

Examinations

Individual paper in which the candidate’s own thesis work is included to whichever extent this is relevant. The scope is a maximum of 10 pages with spacing, not including references and bibliography. The submitted paper will be assessed by the individual with course responsibility and an external examiner. If the paper is assessed as a fail, a reason for this will be provided, as well as advice with regard to making improvements, and a new submission deadline given.
