Apologies for cross-posting or irrelevance.

We are now in the second year of our successful new Composition MA, available in three routes:

The Audio Technologies route is likely to be of most interest to readers on this list - it includes plenty of Max/MSP, and represents a broad-ranging approach across experimental technology-based work. The 'straight' Composition route is broadly intended for acoustic (instrumental/vocal) composition, though there will be plenty of opportunities for crossover into technological/multimedia areas as appropriate. The audiovisual route is perhaps the most innovative - it remains composition-based and sound-focused, but will focus on work in a multimedia context. We will be looking at Visual Music from the likes of Oskar Fischinger onwards and working in areas such as experimental music videos, live audiovisual work (Jitter!), and interdisciplinary practice.

Anyway, there's detailed information on our School website, at:

If anyone's interested, we're recruiting up until 01/09/09 for October entry. Do get back to me with any informal enquiries:
