....................................................................


The MSc in Digital Composition and Performance is a dynamic new MSc
designed to attract composers, musicians, and sound artists interested
in developing creative and technical expertise in composition and
performance with computers. The course covers algorithmic composition,
real-time and non real-time sound synthesis and signal processing, sound
diffusion and spatialisation, and computer-based performance strategies.
By stressing the importance of making music for live performance
situations and not for performance exclusively by others, the course
places the composer onstage and at the forefront of their music's
realisation, thus bridging the gap between the musical vision and its
performability as well as between the composer and performer. Further,
to increase interdisciplinary awareness, the field is placed within a
wider context of cultural, critical, technological, and musical study.

The programme will consist of six taught courses:

* Real-Time Performance Strategies and Design
* Non Real-Time Systems
* Electroacoustic Composition and Performance
* Sound Design Media
* Media and Culture
* Digital Media Studio Project
