Sound Design and Sonification
DECO1013
This unit introduces sound as a design medium, with an emphasis on computer-based implementations. It introduces the core concepts of acoustics and psychoacoustics, digital audio, audio programming and studio production, as well as aesthetic issues in sound design, the creative use of sound as a medium for communication, and sound in interactive systems. Students are introduced to programming interactive audio systems in code and creative patching environments, as well as studio production using digital audio workstations, and studio production using the Faculty's recording studio.On the successful completion of this unit of study, students will have demonstrated knowledge of the methods of programming audio systems, knowledge of a range of sound design techniques, especially in relation to interactive contexts, awareness of issues of aesthetics in sound and sonification and the ability to work in a team to produce complex interactive audio systems.This is a core unit in the Bachelor of Design Computing.
