Module | Assessment | Help and Information | Resources |
In this course students undertake study in high-level programming languages, investigating in particular the interplay between visual representation and patterning and their interaction with audio. Although we are used to combining image and sound in entertainments on television and in the cinema, another way of looking at visual information is as another form of data. This data, for instance luminosity or motion tracking, may be used in a variety of ways to manipulate and reflect audio and these mappings themselves can give rise to insights into the nature of vision, hearing and their relationships. The course will also include a brief examination and implementation of networking functions and protocols. Students are asked to undertake a series of tasks culminating in the conception and implementation of projects of their own devising, for instance, a composition, a piece of software or an installation. Students will submit their collected exercises in a portfolio, to be accompanied by a brief critical evaluation, which should reference the current literature on creative music computing and should place the student's work in the context of current trends in creative music programming as well as providing a basis for the student's own criteria and judgement. |

The weighting is 60% if only Processing/SC/MaxMSP project is undertaken, or 30% if both Jitter and Processing/SC/MaxMSP projects are undertaken. |
30/60% | ||
And/or | ||||
Processing/SuperCollider Project | Choose some aspect of Supercollider or Processing to concentrate on and complete a creative project using Processing, SuperCollider and/or MaxMSP for performance and/or submission in week 12i. If your submission is a performance, it should last approximately 2-3 minutes.
The weighting is 60% if only Processing/SC/MaxMSP project is undertaken, or 30% if both Jitter and Processing/SC/MaxMSP projects are undertaken. |
30/60% | ||
You are encouraged to attempt both projects, or to undertake a project using both MaxMSP and Supercollider, maybe linked in some way. Please speak to your tutor about this. | ||||
The final deadline for final submission of all material is 2pm on Tuesday 8th May 2018. |
Your work will be marked according to the criteria set out in the document Artefact Creation (document available via University Login only). |

N.B. You are all invited to attend each week, but if you do so you must have prepared something for us to look at. If you feel that you do not need to attend that is fine, but please let me know in order to release the time for those who feel that they need it... Please come a little earlier if you can. Feel free to sit in on other tutorials as you may learn something! Be prepared to stay a little later if necessary. |
