MA Creative Music Production

The MA Creative Music Production is aimed at applicants specifically interested in applying studio technologies and production skills to the creation of their own original music (as opposed to €œproducing€ other artists music). In addition to equipping students with solid bases in studio technology, processes, and practices, the course addresses the purely formal, artistic, and aesthetic aspects of music-making, and the specific compositional devices and strategy applicable to DAW-based realizations of original material. By surveying the defining traits and aesthetic concerns of a number of popular genres centered on electronic composition-production, students develop a sophisticated awareness of current artistic and aesthetic trends and an enhanced knowledge of the musicology of production. In this course, you will develop a portfolio of original works showcasing your talent as a composer-producer, opening up a wide range of possibilities for your professional career.

A good (1st, 2.1, or 2.2) BMus/BSc/BA in Music / Music Technology (or equivalent qualification), or 5 years professional industry experience at the discretion of the admissions or program tutor. Evidence of solid compositional work with technology prior to undertaking the course is required (determined by the submission of a small portfolio of original compositions with the students application).
