The Master of Music in Commercial Music Technology is a progressive degree that focuses on the creation, development, and distribution of commercial audio. As audio creators, we rely on technologies that allow us to pursue a variety of creative careers. The course promotes research and exploration of these technologies as well as their contextual application. Understanding their history and how it relates to future industries.
