MUSC4407: Contemporary Music Practice 7
2024 unit information
In this unit, you will be focused on creating a portfolio of work as the culmination of your CMP courses. This course will focus on recording a full-length EP to a professional standard. Unlike year 3, which had conditions and limitations built into the EP you recorded, this semester will be about developing a product that you think fully reflects your identity as an artist. The course will focus on developing your distinct artistic voice through composition, arrangement, studio performance and production. It will also look at ways in which to think about and record your process. The finished product will be of sufficient quality to be added to rotation on community radio such as FBI or RRR. There will be weekly 2-hour seminars which will be devoted to focused feedback on your work.
