Bachelor of Music - Digital Audio Arts (Optional Co-op)

The Digital Audio Arts program is theoretically grounded and practically-focused, with in-depth classroom work developed and delivered in real-world professional settings. Studies are further enhanced through presentations by experts and visiting artists from a variety of music industry fields and creative disciplines.

Students will build a strong foundation in music theory, history, composition, and performance. They will explore topics including audio engineering, music production, electronics and programming for musical applications, interactive music performance, and digital composition for media. As students are exposed to music history, theory, and composition, they will also have opportunities to: • master stereo and multi-track recording techniques

• collaborate on university film and animation projects, dance, theatre or performance art installations • learn to use software tools to process analog and digital sounds • give public performances of creative work • attend lectures from leading industry specialists

Students can collaborate with other students and faculty in fine arts and other disciplines to gain real-world research experiences. Students will discover their creative voice as they create soundscapes for visual media, design sounds for theatre and video games, or craft sonic environments to enhance emotions. Students can also explore the possibilities for creativity through electroacoustic composition, sound design and recording, while training their ear.
