Location of The University of Manchester
The MusM programme in Electroacoustic Music Composition aims to provide Master Students with an in-depth knowledge of cutting-edge compositional techniques, methodologies and associated aesthetics in creative work that intersects with technology and other artistic or scientific forms. The NOVARS Research Centre for Electroacoustic Composition, Performance and Sound Art, and new £2.2 million electroacoustic studios at the University, provide the required resources (hardware, software and performance systems). NOVARS Student Research Groups are created each year to support specific student project aims and develop collaborative research strategies and methodologies.
Regular Mantis Matinees, Composer Forums and Research Seminars provide platforms for discussion of work with peers. MANTIS (Manchester Theatre in Sound) provides frequent opportunities to disseminate and perform work in concerts open to the public using a state-of-the-art 48-loudspeaker computer-based sound diffusion system at the University and in the wider community.
