Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Students are required to investigate sound and music computing from a formal perspective,work according to a scientific method, and report results in scientific forms of dissemination.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

Students who complete the module will gain knowledge, skills and competences as follows:

• Must be able to apply the core elements in real-time sound processing and new interfaces for musical expression
• Must be able to apply principles of music perception and cognition

Skills

Students who complete the module will gain knowledge, skills and competences as follows:

• Must be able to apply theories of sound and music computing, to design, implement and evaluate a system which uses sound as input or output modality
• Produce a project report according to norms of the area, take into consideration relevant literature, apply correct terminology and convey the research-based foundation, problem and results of the project orally and in writing in a coherent manner, including the relationship between the problem formulation, the project’s realization and its conclusions
• Evaluate and select relevant literature, scientific methods and models and other tools for application in the project work, and evaluate the project’s problem area in a relevant scientific context

Competences

• Must be able to synthesize relevant theory, techniques and tools to produce new knowledge and/or solutions
• Must be able to synthesize and discuss research-based knowledge in the area of sound and music computing, in the format of a scientific paper
• Plan, execute and manage complex research and/or development tasks, and assume a professional responsibility for carrying out, potentially cross-disciplinary, collaborations
• Assume responsibility for own scientific development and specialization
