Master in sound and music computing

Organized by the Dept. of Information and Communication Technologies of the UPF in Barcelona in collaboration with the Dept. of Sonology of the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya.

The mission of the SMC Master is to train the researchers and professionals that will push forward the sound and music technologies of the new information society. By combining practical and theoretical training in topics such as computational modeling, audio engineering, perception, cognition, and interactive systems, the program gives the scientific and technological background needed to start a professional career in a wide number of SMC research and professional directions. More specifically, the Master trains the students on the technologies for the analysis, description, synthesis, transformation and production of sound and music, and also on the technologies and processes that support sound and music creation.

The Master offers both a professional and a research modality.

• The professional modality trains the students for the work in recording studios, media production companies, music software development, or companies dedicated to services related to sound and music contents.
• The research modality gives the students the possibility to enter a PhD program or to enter research teams in companies specialized in the development of services and applications related to music and sound technologies.

Postgraduate diploma in sonology

This programme is made up of the following programmes:

• Postgraduate course in design of interactive music systems (CDSIM)
• Postgraduate course in music production techniques and technology (CTEM)

The objective of this postgraduate course is to offer theoretical and practical training in technology and procedures in support of sound and music creation which make the production of sound and music possible. More specifically, the course concentrates on an in-depth focus on both sound recording and post-production techniques and the theoretical concepts and the applied technologies which make it possible. This training proposal aims to minimise, as far as possible, the vast differences between theory and practice in musical production, as well as the lack of a technical and musical basis which we very often find in the professional setting. With this aim in mind we have put together four theoretical and practical subjects which are complementary and grouped in pairs and which through a range of disciplines cover the fundamental concepts and practices for professional music production. The practical side of this training proposal is especially reinforced by the availability of facilities, services and the academic environment of ESMUC, which will be complemented by those of Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Completion of the course will provide the necessary knowledge and skills to work in a recording studio, audiovisual and multimedia production companies or sound and music service companies.
