3–24 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This course is structured as a student-directed independent study course accompanied by group discussions, guest speakers, and critique sessions. Each student is expected to submit an individual or pair plan of work to faculty, which will be evaluated and refined to determine a reasonable scope and educational outcomes. All work should be comprised of digital sound or audio work, possible outcomes including but not limited to: musical composition, interactive game audio, music games, spatialized audio, sound or music synthesis, and interactive musical performance or installation. Specific software will not normally be taught; students will need to self-organize to learn tools relevant to the projects they undertake.
