What is the musical ensemble of the future? Technology has always influenced our music and performances throughout the ages. What new and interesting ways can we reinvent how people play music together? This technical production course challenges its participants by providing a collaborative opportunity to create new instruments using your mobile phone or laptop, develop musical compositions and produce a musical performance. Assignments involve both independent and collaborative projects throughout the semester culminating in a group performance at the end of the term.

This Technical Production course provides an opportunity for students to apply the skills they've acquired while pursuing their degree to a collaboratively implemented project. Set up as an online research and development lab, we will work together to develop a technical platform to make music together.
