Our students were able to experience a day in the life of some of the world’s most eminent record producers and performers during their time at Abbey Road Studios. Industry professionals on hand to lend their support to the students included Abbey Road engineer Paul Pritchard. Paul has worked with some of the biggest recording artists in history, including Paul McCartney, Elton John and Freddie Mercury.
In this module students are invited to investigate the practices and creative possibilities of working within a desktop music and sound design production environment. This will involve MIDI programming, composition of basic musical and rhythmic arrangements, sound design, sound effects and an introduction to software instruments, synthesis, sampling techniques and digital signal processing.
Key Concepts in Sound introduces ideas, terms and approaches relevant to the study and critical analysis of sound, listening and audio practice. Drawing upon critical and philosophical texts, art practices, and historical accounts, the module takes an interdisciplinary approach to the sonic, situating it in relation to its political, geographical and cultural contexts.
The modules aims to interrogate sound's associations and intersections with other sensory media; the auditory dimensions of identity, power, and technology; and the relationship between sonic experience, time and space.
Key Concepts in Sound also aims to develop students’ critical thinking and research skills, providing them with an opportunity to engage in research-led learning.
This module aims to provide an introduction to the multi-track studio environment in which students can identify and employ digital audio recording, editing and mixing techniques and technologies. The study of listening skills essential to the perception of audio quality will be introduced and can be developed along with the practical and technical elements necessary for studio-based audio and music production.
Practices of Recording is a theory/practice module, designed to introduce students to a variety of approaches to sound recording and their historical, social and political contexts. This module aims to broaden students’ perspectives of what audio recording might entail. Emphasis here is placed on recording practices and techniques that occur ‘beyond’ the studio and music production.
This module is designed to introduce students to the principles and practices of working with sound. The module aims to develop knowledge of the sound wave, acoustics, human hearing, auditory perception, microphones and digital audio standards such as file formats, storage and playback. Basic Pro Tools recording, editing and audio manipulation techniques are also introduced.
This module aims to give students a basic understanding of the practical and technical skills used during radio production. Students are encouraged to think creatively and will work to present audio content for an identified radio audience reflecting current industry practice.
This module is designed to provide an overview of current industry techniques and practices, including an understanding the route from edit platforms to final sound mix; cleaning up and replacing original recorded sound; recording and placing commentary, dialogue, effects and music editing; and the addition of creative elements to create aural landscapes for still or moving images. Music and sound effects library sources, server based libraries and importing and exporting audio files, sourcing, cataloguing and sifting.
This module aims to contextualise students’ production practices by introducing them to the ways in which both media and music institutions within the creative and cultural industries are organised. The module aims to explore and examine key issues in the history and current organisation of, and possible changes in, the cultural industries as institutions and practices. Students have the opportunity to develop an understanding of the legal, ethical, regulatory, and self-regulatory frameworks within which they operate.
This module sets out to explore some of the ways in which we make, sense, and transform ourselves and our worlds through our sonic and auditory cultures. We will focus on a number of important phenomena in our consideration of sonic practices, ways of hearing and contemporary scholarship on the auditory dimensions of media. Designed to engage both Media Studies and Sound and Music Production students in their respective fields, we will move from discussions of sound in relation to the affective capacities of the body through discussion of audition in relation to space and place (focused through the concept of the ‘soundscape’). We will consider discussions of sound and technology and explore concepts and phenomena of ‘noise’ and ‘silence’ in sonic and musical experience. This module encourages collaborative research in the spirit of ‘Student as Producer’, the organizing principle of teaching and learning in the university.
In this module students will explore the development of music and audio culture through an eclectic range of case studies illustrating how situating music within diverse cultural contexts provides a broad and nuanced understanding of the role music plays in the lives of individuals, the formation of communities, and the influence on global culture. Through analytical and critical approaches, such as musicology, ethnography, socio-history, and psychology, the module aims to deepen students' comprehension of the myriad ways in which music can be studied, analysed, and comprehended.
In this module, we consider research as a process that informs both ‘practice’ (broadly defined) and ‘theory’. This module enables students to engage with methods for researching audiences, institutions and auditory culture; and primary sources such as digital data, film, television and video game soundtracks and archival materials. We will critically reflect on various stages of the research process, including formulating research questions and objectives; developing a literature review; selecting appropriate methods; and considering research ethics. In doing so, this module prepares students for their Level 3 Independent Study Project, as well as their Level 3 Audio Projects and Creative Enterprise/Creative Industries Case Study.
The module is designed to examine and analyse the use of audio and music in the cultural industries. Specifically, the increasing importance of sonic branding in media networks, corporate branding and advertising. Audiences and consumers are mostly aware when they are a target for advertising and/or branding, but equally may have an unconscious understanding of the message.
A number of key questions centre on the cultural effects of advertising and branding for example the salience of music in order to identify with and promote a brand: note the yearly and eagerly awaited John Lewis Christmas ads. Similarly, how does one know one is listening to specific BBC or commercial radio station just from the jingles or station sound?
The module explores these questions in two ways: firstly, by providing the opportunity to understand how these messages are constructed and more specifically how the use of audio and music differentiates a brand from its competitors, and secondly, by researching and understanding the creative process of sonic branding production in an industry context.
Students are encouraged to apply these ideas via the application of branding and audience research in order to pitch a short piece of created audio designed from a specific brief.
This module further develops students’ skills through use of advanced techniques of sound editing and design for all visual media outputs, such as film, television and screen devices. Through this, a deeper understanding of the role of the sound editor/sound designer and the audio post-production processes involved at the later stages of completion is achieved.
Students learn how sound is acquired for film and television productions and what happens to the sound after the picture editing is completed. Students will work with digital audio workstations and software technologies and the sound ‘dubbing theatre’. Areas covered include synchronising sound and picture rushes, import/export of audio files, supplying audio files for the editing process, audio tracklaying using Digital Audio Workstations (DAW’s), Editing dialogue and speech, recording Foley*, ADR* to picture; recording commentary and narration. Creative use of music in sound post-production is also covered, including composer spotting sessions, selecting and using production music and assessing musical requirements. The roles of mixer, assistant and sound editor are explored, in relation to selecting and assembling sound recordings and producing different mixes in preparation for final sound production of a television programme, film or screen based output. Students will understand the distinctive role of the film, television and screen sound editor and the creative sound post-production process for all moving image productions.
