Students create original sounds for composition, live performance, and sound effects. They explore fully in depth the potential of synthesizers and samplers through specific synthesis techniques like analog modular synthesis, FM synthesis, additive synthesis, granular synthesis and physical modeling.

Using a wide-variety of sound production techniques and software tools, students create a completely original soundtrack for film or video. In these works, students compose, orchestrate and arrange original music; design original sound effects; develop a personal sound library; create and record Foley and voice-overs and make use of SMPTE and MTC to synchronize all your sound and music to picture. 

New Interfaces for Making Music

Students from diverse backgrounds, including music, computer programming, and technology, come together to design and build novel musical instruments using electronic circuits, sensors, actuators, and microprocessors. Through hands-on projects and collaborative learning, students will discover how to harness the power of open-source electronics to create interactive and dynamic soundscapes.
