This subject builds on the content of Music Making Laboratory 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. It further examines the skills required for individual composers to create and realise cross-disciplinary new artistic work in a group environment and includes large group collaboration, direction and realisation of a new group work.
Music Making Laboratory is mentor led and delivered as a practical laboratory, which offers opportunities for observation, practice and experimentation within a range of media and genre contexts.
During the subject students will be required to engage in whole group discussion and ensemble cross media music making.
