This unit of study provides students support to plan and create a collaborative recording project based on creative parameters. A process of collaborative music composition, performance and production will be supported by ongoing peer, and instructor feedback plus written critical self-reflection. Students will be asked to recognise and apply new production techniques and devise effective co-writing strategies to expand their practice. At the conclusion of this unit, students will have worked collaboratively to develop a body of work (approximately 16 minutes of music) within clearly defined creative parameters.
