This course is an introduction to the fundamental concepts of music computing, including digital synthesis, algorithmic composition, and musical interface design. You will develop your knowledge by creating computer musical instruments in music programming languages and developing new computer music works to present in concert with an ensemble of other students.
Modern music technology exists at the forefront of computing practice and involves new live programming paradigms, human interface design, digital signal processing, networking, and machine learning. You will gain experience in these concepts and learn how to conceptualise and realise new computer music instruments, compositions, and performances.
This is the course formerly known as Laptop Ensemble! You’re joining at a great time because we’re expanding to cater for more students (equals more fun) and adding more content for 2023!
