This course aims to establish foundational elements of good sound design, opening up as many pathways as possible to facilitate new ideas and for students to create a “sonic palette” of their own.
By building a proper foundation and being keyed into modern hardware and software innovations, students become intuitive and efficient at iterating on ideas, regardless of the nature of that idea’s origin. By exploring techniques and traditions, students will define many points in their workflow and cultivate a lifelong passion for sound design.
The program is centered around the art and science of sound design, with a strong focus on its applications in music. It provides students with the tools and techniques required to shape and create unique sounds, both for artistic expression and practical applications in various media.
Program Structure: The program spans 12 modules, each focusing on a specific aspect of sound design. It begins with introducing students to the fundamentals and gradually progresses to more advanced topics, ensuring a solid foundation before delving into more complex concepts.
This detailed curriculum provides a step-by-step journey through various aspects of sound design, starting from the fundamentals and progressing to advanced techniques. It encourages creativity, exploration, and the development of a personal sonic palette.
“No matter how much experience you have, you do good art by making lots of mistakes and learning from them. That’s the way it happens early in your career, and it changes very little even after several decades.” –
