Sample and Sequence

This module will introduce students to deconstructing and analysis of the key musical concepts of pitch, timbre, rhythm and genre. Students will learn different techniques to edit, process and arrange samples from pre-recorded multi-track arrangements. In doing so they will gain confidence in working with musical material using digital audio workstation software. The module offers students the opportunity to engage with music production and express their ideas in terms of music genre and creative context. The use of pre-recorded multi-track arrangements will act as a technical introduction to the process of layering sounds and handling digital file formats.
