Apologies for cross-posting or irrelevance.

From September 2008, Bath Spa University Music Department will be offering a new Composition MA, available in three routes:

The Audio Technologies route is likely to be of most interest to readers on this list, representing a broad-ranging approach across experimental technology-based work (and lots of Max/MSP/Jitter!). The 'straight' Composition route is broadly intended for acoustic (instrumental/vocal) composition, though there will be plenty of opportunities for crossover into technology/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, and interdisciplinary practice.

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

Meantime, do get back to me with any informal enquiries:

MA Composition
MA Composition (Audio Technologies)
MA Composition (Audiovisual)
