Audio creators rely on technologies that allow us to pursue various creative careers. The Master of Music in Commercial Music Technology is an advanced degree that focuses on creating, developing, and distributing commercial audio. The course promotes research and exploration of these technologies and their contextual application, teaching their history and how they relate to future industries. Exceptional audio, advanced recording, mixing and mastering techniques, synthesis, music, and moving image are all areas of study.
The program aims to offer a commercially focused practice-based Master’s degree to aspiring or established music producers and audio engineers. The program’s specific goals are as follows:
- To develop a specialist understanding of advanced music production and audio practices and a thorough understanding of the technologies adopted in the commercial music industry.
- To create a learning environment that allows students to investigate these issues systematically, critically, creatively, and in the context of the changing nature of professional practice.
- Give students a thorough understanding of, and paths to, successful and entrepreneurial careers in production, working individually, collaboratively, and in the context of larger organisations, including leadership roles.
- Enable producers and engineers to create a significant body of original creative work at various scales that demonstrate a critical awareness of relevant theory, research, and professional practice, as well as a distinct, robust, and imaginative artistic personality or “voice”;
