In this course students undertake study in high-level programming languages, investigating in particular the interplay between visual representation and patterning and their interaction with audio. Although we are used to combining image and sound in entertainments on television and in the cinema, another way of looking at visual information is as another form of data. This data, for instance luminosity or motion tracking, may be used in a variety of ways to manipulate and reflect audio and these mappings themselves can give rise to insights into the nature of vision, hearing and their relationships. The course will also include a brief examination and implementation of networking functions and protocols. Students are asked to undertake a series of tasks culminating in the conception and implementation of projects of their own devising, for instance, a composition, a piece of software or an installation. Students will submit their collected exercises in a portfolio, to be accompanied by a brief critical evaluation, which should reference the current literature on creative music computing and should place the student's work in the context of current trends in creative music programming as well as providing a basis for the student's own criteria and judgement.

1. Computer music studios equipped with appropriate hardware and software.
2. Internet forum.
3. Journals list.
4. Third-party Internet sites (as advised).
5. CD and DVD collection of appropriate recorded material.

1. 1. Utilise knowledge of a variety of resources through customised software control.
2. 2. 2. Demonstrate a knowledge of digital sound and image from a creative, theoretical and practical standpoint and appreciate the relationships and interactions between sight and sound.

Assessment
• In this course, you will be asked to work on a series of tasks and projects.

• These tasks are taken throughout the course; of these four are submitted and these are worth 10% each of the entire course. There is a summary of tasks and projects here.

• The project(s) are valued at 60% of the entire course.

• Each task must be accompanied by sufficient documentation to ensure smooth demonstration of the task. Usually this documentation is best situated within the relevant patch, very MaxMSP or SC. More details here.

• Each project (not task) must be accompanied by a short commentary (approximately 200 words maximum) in text outlining your goals, achievements and experiences.

• All materials should be physically submitted to the i-Centre.

Submission
The final deadline for final submission of all material is 2pm on Tuesday 8th May 2018.

It is essential that you read this document for full details of your submission.

The final deadline for final submission of all material is 2pm on Tuesday 8th May 2018.
