Teaching Track B Paris-Berlin
General aims and themes of the Track B Paris-Berlin
The Paris-Berlin track of the ECMCT provides the students with the opportunity to become familiar with musical writing using the electronic medium and to acquire autonomy in the use of software programs for artistic and creative purposes. The Paris semester focuses on intensive training in different studio techniques and software applications for diverse creative contexts, while the Berlin semester will allow the students to put into practice the acquired knowledge during several master classes and for the realization of an own artistic project with sound. Lectures by international artists and teachers will offer a large overview of the sonic arts.
