Immerse yourself in a boundary-pushing end of year showcase

Join us on Thursday 1st May at Loco Klub where our final year undergraduate students will be exhibiting their cutting-edge projects and performances for 'Innovation in Sound'.

Innovation in Sound is a module our undergraduate students undertake in their third year of study. Introducing them to experimental techniques, genres and technologies, the module is a chance for our students to channel their composition and production skills into a project that really pushes them out of their comfort zones.

Every student interprets the brief differently and you can expect to experience innovative installations, immersive multichannel soundscapes and experimental live performances. Last year’s showcase saw our students create and exhibit incredible work, including:

  • Carving Music: An installation that explored the process of electric guitar building from sustainable wood sources. A generative composition is triggered by a guitar crafted specifically for the project and using sounds recorded during its construction.
  • Icebreaker: An installation designed to highlight the issue of climate change by recording melting blocks of ice, captured by a hydrophone, played through speakers and processed live into an immersive audio experience.
  • Dia da Liberdade: A generative audio-visual installation that celebrated the anniversary of the Carnation Revolution in Portugal through the creative treatment of audio artefacts that were significant to the original event.

The event is both a celebration of the achievements of our students as well as an exhibition showcasing how emerging technologies and music can come together to create affecting experiences.

This is a free public event and is suitable for all ages.
