Handbook

This course introduces you to the key creative principles and skills for working with sound, whether as a standalone medium or as part of a sound installation or audio-visual artwork. In this course, you will transform recorded sound to create new sound works, and apply the concepts developed to the transformation of other locations via recontextualised and layered soundscapes. The course will also allow you to work with the moving image, examining and experimenting with the audio-visual relationship, with a focus on the role of sound design in creating and altering dynamics, perspectives, and perceived meanings. Through practical activities, you will acquire skills in recording, editing, synthesising, sampling, and sequencing audio for a variety of media arts contexts.
