Purpose and description of the content of education:
The "Signal Processing" module introduces fundamental audio signal analysis, modification, and synthesis principles using digital tools. Students will explore techniques for signal representation in time and frequency domains, such as Fourier transforms and filtering. The course covers practical applications in the context of sound art, interactive installations, and electronic music creation. Lectures focus on theoretical foundations, while tutorials develop programming skills and proficiency with advanced software. The module emphasizes the integration of technology with the creative artistic process. Participants will gain competencies in analyzing and processing sounds in various work environments, paving the way for further exploration in sound and multimedia fields.
