This program will consist of a set of courses that span both music and technology, as well as a comprehensive capstone composition/design/performance project. As the backgrounds and needs of the students are expected to be highly varied, specific course selection will be supervised by the student’s advisor in concert with an Advising Committee which will include representation from the School of Music, the School of Computer Science, and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Potential areas of study include technologically assisted composition, technologically augmented performance; computer music systems and technology; music signal processing; music information retrieval; acoustics, sound recording, and music instrument design; and music cognition and perception.
The ideal student for this program will be an individual who is already excellent in either music or some aspect of technology, and who has also demonstrated substantial attainment in the complementary area as well.
