DEADLINE Master Sound Art-Composition Course 01.11.2018

Sound Art Composition Course

School of Music at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.

Summer Term 2019

Application

Since 2010 the master’s degree course in sound art composition enables students to study at a German college of music for a “Master of Music” in this field for the first time. The course of study is open to artists, musicians and others who would like to intensively grapple artistically with the area of sound art composition.

The study program is open to students of many fields and can be done in German or English.

The course of studies is based on the newest developments of the intermediary understanding of music and art that has developed in the past two decades. One focus is on the sound of spaces – particularly public spaces. Here, trends in new music, electronic composition, sound art, audio-visual art and radiophone art, Ars Acustica, combine to form a thematic unity. At the highest artistic level, compositional approaches with a focus on making spatial and intermediary composition strategies are explored and further developed. These include the development of spatial sound installations and sound installations, as well as performative concepts and media representations.
