In this unit students will be required to demonstrate knowledge of acousmatic music practice. The unit requires students to critically reflect and practice various modes of listening, theories of auditory perception and psychoacoustics, acoustics, and gain skills in the processes of field recording. The fundamentals of psychoacoustics and the perception of sound in space are explored. The practices of point-source and diffused methods of spatialisation are discussed in relation to acousmatic music. There will be emphasis placed on the use of the internet for publishing written and sound collections. Students will make recordings and compositions in this unit.
