Audio Visual

There is significant demand for music and sound for film, TV, computer games, virtual and augemented reality, and web sites. The 21st century is also seeing the rise of new audiovisual artforms, which will provide unique new opportunities for musicians prepared to contribute to them. DMU Music Technology students have explored aesthetic and technical considerations surrounding the creation of original music and sound design for the moving image. Some students have learned image creation and manipulation techniques, engaging in musical treatment of image in digital video or in performance via VJ (video-jockey) tools, game engines or custom software.
