8cp
Graduate subject – Media Arts and Production – 400 level

This subject presents a range of critical perspectives and approaches to the uses of sound and the act of listening across film, television, radio and new media platforms. While the subject overall is aimed at understanding the uses of sound within various media, the emphasis (both in practice and theory) is on listening; students are encouraged to attend closely to their own acoustic environments, and have the opportunity to audition a range of audio art and radiophonic works. With a focus on contemporary practice, a number of key historical sound texts are also presented.
