Studio Project (W3070)

30 credits, Level 6

Spring teaching

This module is a combination of seminars and individual or small group supervision/tutorials for developing individual portfolio projects. Ensure that you complete reading and listening in time for each seminar, and build on this work by compiling your own bibliography and discography, relevant to your project. The module is delivered through a series of seminars, followed by tutorials to advise and assist on the development of your final project. The outcome of the module is an extended (five minute) studio composition either in the form of a sound file, interactive work using Max/MSP or Pure Data, or for example a soundtrack for games. The final portfolio should illuminate the relationship between the musical ideas, their development, and the studio techniques in your piece.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 300 hours of work. This breaks down into about 22 hours of contact time and about 278 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2024/25. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
