Computer Music Composition explores digital music making, including the tenets of digital audio theory, sampling, synthesis techniques, and graphical programming, which culminates in dynamic student work that is at the forefront of the world of digital music creation. Working through a full array of concepts related to digital audio synthesis techniques - such as granular synthesis, frequency and amplitude modulation, and digital filter theory - students can expect to explore and discuss several contemporary works in the repertoire, recompose classic, analog works in the digital domain and most importantly, gain facility in using their computers as modes of artistic expression.
