- Description
Electronic music and multimedia music are prominent forms of contemporary music. This course, designed specifically for composition students, aims to answer fundamental questions: What is electronic music? What is multimedia? And how can one learn to compose a piece for multimedia from scratch?
In the winter semester, students began exploring the fundamentals of music production, starting with an introduction to software (music workstations, audio analysis software, etc.) and hardware, and gradually moving on to synthesizers and digital effects processing.
In the summer semester, the course will focus on 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 practical projects, students will gradually master audio recording, editing techniques, the application of audio effects, as well as the synthesis and sampling of digital audio signals. This will enable them to compose captivating multimedia pieces from scratch. At the end of the semester, students will organize their own presentations, which will serve as a platform for showcasing their results and sharing experiences.
The first session will take place on October 14, 2026, in ELA 5.
