An insight in sound within different contexts: society and new media related to an insight in the needed technical skills required by the different contexts. In different framed workshops the students can explore the combination of theory, artistic practice and technical skills in a personal research.

This module is organised in two different workshops Sound and environment and sound in new media. Introduced by a two-day master class on the ‘Grammar of listening’.

The course focusses on different approaches and concepts of sound-composition/-construction.
Grammar of listening introduces the concept of a film soundtrack and its components.
The first part introduces the concept of a film soundtrack, its construction and its components. It includes concepts of what makes a soundtrack and how its grammar can be translated into different media. Key to this discussion is a description of each layer of sound (voice, atmospheres, sound effects, music, etc.) and how these layers need to be considered in recording, editing and mixing. The module includes screenings and playback of supporting material with a clear understanding of narrative film sound construction.
In Sound and society the relation between sound and space and the possibility to transform space through sound, will be explored through practice. Sound and environment focusses on the impact in society.
