Description

Electronic music and multimedia music are outstanding forms in contemporary music. This course, which has been specially designed for composition students, aims to answer fundamental questions: What is electronic music? What is multimedia? And how can you learn to compose a piece for multimedia from scratch?

In the winter semester, students began an exploration of the basics of music production, starting with an introduction to software (music workstations, audio analysis software, etc.) and hardware, gradually introducing synthesizers and digital effects processing.

In the summer semester, the course will cover the core areas of digital audio technology and multimedia, including recording techniques, sampling, sensors and more. In addition, the course will provide a brief introduction to the fundamentals of artificial intelligence in music composition.

Through a series of hands-on projects, students will progressively master audio recording, editing techniques, the application of audio effects, and the synthesis and sampling of digital audio. This will enable them to compose captivating multimedia pieces from scratch. At the end of the semester, there will be presentations organized by the students themselves, providing a platform for presenting their results and sharing experiences.
