This course is dedicated to fostering a creative vision in music design, with a concentrated emphasis on enhancing artistic creativity and exploring the narrative potential of music. By examining various musical genres and their historical contexts, students will develop their own forms of musical expression that will complement forms of narrative art in contemporary creative practice. The course will focus on the dynamic interactions between music and other multimedia art forms, such as film, and students will develop a critical understanding of the strategic role music design plays within these domains. At the core of this course is the exploration of music as a narrative medium. Students will develop their own music design involving expressing their life stories through musical compositions and or integrating music into their existing multimedia projects.
