The University of Miami’s Frost School of Music offers a Master of Music
degree in Digital Arts and Sound Design (M.M.). The degree provides
students with the opportunity to develop advanced compositional skills
in digital music and arts. The thesis project for this degree will
consist of a major work composed in the areas of digital music, sound
installation or multimedia.
The Frost School of Music is equipped with a number of state-of-the art
music technology studios which are available to the students. The DASD
students are encouraged to take advantage of collaborating with the
students and faculty from other disciplines. In addition to on-campus
opportunities, we have set up a network of relationships with major
music, technology and art institutions in Miami, which the students are
encouraged to explore. Interactive multimodal installations driven by
sensor technologies, techno-human performances, electronic music
ensemble events and outdoor public sonic experiences exemplify the
program’s focus on artistic exploration of new technologies. In addition
to their work with the faculty, the students interact with the visiting
artists that in the past included Jonty Harrison, Laurie Anderson, Mason
Bates Pamela Z, Jaroslav Kapuscinski and Mari Kimura to name a few.
To apply, the student must submit a portfolio
of original electroacoustic and/or multimedia works. The portfolio
should include items such as sound recordings, videos, programming
examples and any other related documentation. For specific requirements,
please refer to the Graduate Portfolio Requirements
After review of the portfolios, finalists will be invited to do an
on-campus interview. Teaching Assistantships are available to highly
competitive applicants. To be considered, the student must interview
with the department faculty.
