Electronic Music Production
The Electronic Music Producers (EMP) Program is a 1-year full-time
program training freelance music producers/songwriters and composers for
film, TV, gaming, advertising and multimedia. The full-time program
teaches music production from a number of perspectives:
Composing: students learn to compose music in any style
of music. Students study music theory and songwriting/arranging from an
applied arts perspective. In other words, songwriting is studied as a
means of solving a problem. The music must fit the needs of a film or
game, or the producer must collaborate with the artists he or she is
producing.
Recording: students learn audio recording techniques in
a digital and analog recording environment. The students practice using
the computer and software and in a commercial recording studio
(typically Mushroom Records).
Producing and Mixing: This makes up
the primary technical focus of the program. Students learn to produce,
mix and master using software such as Cubase, Reason, Ableton Live, and
Native Instruments Komplete.
Publishing: Students learn how they can make a living
in the music business, dealing with copyright, business plans and how to
promote online and offline.
