Experimental Computer Musicians Wanted
The Music Research Centre, University of York (UK) is looking for highly motivated producers of electronic/computer music and sound-art for their MA in Music Technology. This one year course is based in the Music Research Centre, which has outstanding production facilities and one of the best performance/listening spaces for sound playback in the world.
The course covers many aspects of music technology including both the technical and creative sides of computer music production. We are particularly looking for students with a desire to create radical work that challenges both mainstream and academic conventions. This includes the production of experimental/extreme computer music, installation sound art and computer audio-video work.
The Music Research Centre at York is known for its active research programme and its external engagement with practising artists and labels. Professional research and development projects such as
New Aesthetics in Computer Music and
The Morning Line bring professional artists to work alongside students and staff.
If you're interested in being part of an active community of researchers and artists, with a genuine desire to explore and redefine notions of computer music and sound art, please get in touch. We evaluate all candidates on an individual basis and can accept students from various academic backgrounds, whether in the sciences or the arts.
