About the Course

This course will dvelve deeper into the world of music production methodology, practical studio work and technology. The students will again work in groups with ambitious targets of creating and completing a series of music productions within the time frame. They will learn mixing techniques and familiarise themselves with synthesis and sampling.

This time they will not only work on their own songs from start to finish, but also gain experience in performing parts of the process (ie. Mixing, completion) on projects initiated by others, working on their behalf, understanding their vision.

In addition to dealing with the music and technology itself, the course also focus on performing work in a timely manner, to a deadline and answering to other people’s needs and expectations. These are important values in translating knowledge and skills to real-world professional applications.
