From September 2008 we will be offering a new Composition MA, available in
three routes:

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

The Audio Technologies route is likely to be of most interest to readers on this list – we were initially planning to call this route ‘Sonic Art’, and it still 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, and interdisciplinary practice.

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

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

All the best,

Joseph
