Introducing the brand new Creative Music Technology course at the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music. A course focussed on the creative application of technology within professional music, sound, broadcast, multimedia and research contexts. Students will develop music technology skills for employment within new media, composition, recording and performance creative industries. Some of these roles include sound engineering, computer music, audio-visual production and post-production, mastering, scoring for film and multimedia, audio for games, software development, and multimedia production. The Creative Music Technology course fuses the exploration and use of technology through creative approaches of music and promotes creative outcomes through current technologies; these are studied within the context of their creative applications. State of the art facilities include a fully equipped recording studio and research labs. The latest music technology programs are taught including Ableton Live (with ‘Push’ controllers), Logic, Protools and Max. As part of a large and active school of music, Creative Music Technology emphasises the integration of musical and technical skills with a close connection with the performance and composition programs, encouraging collaborations that explore new relationships between experimental and traditional approaches to music. Students studying a Bachelor of Music specialising in Creative Music Technology will also have a holistic music education, studying subjects in music theory, history, composition, performance and developing research skills that are all important for the 21st century musician. This degree is not only a vocational course but also an opportunity to understand ‘why’ and ‘how’ – a staple of researching and ‘doing’ music generally.
