Music, Creativity and Communication introduces students to the dynamic relationship between communications technologies and creative practice. The unit affords students the opportunity to consider how old and new media relate and intersect in the framing of musical works. By blending theory and practice, this unit explores how media technology shapes and is shaped by music, and thereby demonstrates how students and graduates are increasingly digitally literate producers and curators of musical knowledge, ideas and works.
