About this Unit
In 2018 this unit replaced by 102556 - Expanded Music Performance. This unit offers students the opportunity to plan, prepare and perform a substantial artistically and technically challenging performance project as featured artist. Students are required to expand their performance practice by utilising electroacoustic and/or multimedia and/or theatrical elements. The repertoire will be self-directed and devised in consultation with the lecturer. Students will be exposed to current digital performance and interface technologies for software and hardware instruments and real time digital audio processing. The unit explores various notions of theatricality and extended music performance. Through a written task, students will consider their own work in the context of a survey of works in the field.
