Purpose and description of the content of education:
The "Computer Music Composition" module introduces students to advanced techniques of music creation using computers and sound-generating software. The course includes learning about music programming, utilizing algorithms for sound creation, and integrating computer technology into the composition process. Students will work with various tools and programming environments that allow for innovative and experimental approaches to music-making. The program aims to develop both technical skills and creativity in the context of sound art. The course also covers computer music theory and focuses on designing and producing original musical compositions. The module concludes with developing sound projects and applying the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the course.
