To produce contemporary electronic music for an increasingly astute cohort of music consumers, artists need to develop an understanding of a range of creative techniques and approaches as well as a fluency with current technologies. This subject provides you with an overview of the principles employed in contemporary electronic music production. You will learn how to produce beats, bass lines, melody and harmony parts for dance and hip hop music production, and popular music songwriting using MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) technology. You will gain a practical and conceptual understanding of MIDI technology through a variety of applied and analytical exercises. You will also explore sound production and processing techniques used in contemporary electronic music production and gain an understanding of the use of synthesisers and sample based virtual instruments. Production techniques of specific artists/music producers will be analysed and deconstructed.
