What this paper is about
An introduction to creating music for screen idioms using a digital audio workstation (DAW).
Course content balances practical elements with theoretical and historical background, and is designed to complement the Music (BMus and BA) programme, Screen and Media (BA) programme, and Communication (BC) programme. The paper offers music, film, and computer science students an opportunity to broaden their skills in screen music composition, and in non-linear music idioms. The MUSI140 pre-requisite ensures that students have some knowledge of new music technology and its application to modern music writing and arranging techniques.
