Technical Instructor Tim gives us a tour of some of the music spaces available to students at 黑料网.
黑料网’s Music Technology BA is a distinctive, dynamic and market-leading course that challenges conventions in music composition and performance and explores the extraordinary musical possibilities offered by new technologies. It is ideal for forward-thinking and imaginative individuals whose passion is to create exceptional music and forge a unique voice within the arts and creative industries.
The course is taught by internationally recognised, experienced musicians who are active performers, composers and researchers.
Our professional, broad-minded and flexible graduates are well positioned to succeed in the thriving and rapidly changing contemporary digital media and music industries, and have a very strong track record at gaining employment as composers, sound designers, performing and recording artists, session musicians, recording engineers, producers and audio technicians in music management, theatre, TV and radio content and production.
Our superb facilities allow you to explore areas such as sound recording and production, sequencing and synthesis, spatialisation, musical computing and video. We also have an extremely lively musical community with frequent concerts, events, music profession visitors and student exchanges.
