As part of this course, and in replication of the ’real world’ students will find themselves collaborating with their peers from other disciplines (Dance, Film and Events) to complete project work that places the music producer in a role that is less central than that experienced in the recording industry. We believe that the ‘craft skills’ of music production and the identity of the music producer should be founded on knowledge and learning through practical application. This course offers students opportunities to explore old and new technologies, different music forms, recording as documentary, sound as a function within other media artefacts, and music and sound as art and performance (commercial and otherwise). To this end, students will be studying a specialist programme focused on music production that offers a broad but interconnected selection of units. Therefore, students seeking a career in this role should prepare to develop skills that are entrepreneurial, freelance and independent – flexible to the needs of clients, creative and contributory with an awareness of culture, and firmly based in theory, practice, and later, experience. The working producer may encounter different studio environments, different technologies, different client demands and many different forms of music. This course aims to expose students to the diverse nature of the challenges faced by those who take on the role of music producer.
