Making Interactive Tools for Music and Audio (Year 2) - AIM2219

Assessment 1: Portfolio (including examples)

A sequence of formative exercises/tests undertaken in seminars and designed to develop skill in working with the software (equivalent to 1000 words).

Portfolio

Assessment 1: Portfolio

Portfolio of Term 1 Exercises (c. 2-3 shorter tasks).

Assessment 2: Portfolio

Portfolio of Term 2 Exercises (c. 2-3 shorter tasks).

<p>You will be introduced to the techniques and underlying concepts of audio programming languages/interactive environments such as MaxMSP, Supercollider, Csound and Chuck. Such environments allow musicians, artists and DSP engineers to design complex interactive audio software without dealing with the details that would be necessary within programming languages like C and C&#43;&#43;. You will gain practical experience of working with at least one domain specific language or environment. Whilst some teaching will be necessarily language-specific, techniques will be presented in relation to core transferrable programming and audio concepts. You will also develop some awareness of the existence and relative merits of a range of relevant technologies for audio programming/interactive work.</p>
