Technology has become ubiquitous with today's modern performer through the use of live looping, triggering, manipulation of effects, and remixing providing new forms of musical expression. The tools are now available to enable performers to produce experimental layers of sound and textures to create and perform within the live domain. In this module, students will examine the various aspects of using music technology to plan, collaborate, and deliver a live performance from the studio to stage.
In addition, students taking this module will have the opportunity to develop the collaborative working skills necessary for the successful industry practitioner, through engagement with other students within the BIMM Community as part of the learning and assessment process.

The module will be delivered in the onsite live room and Mac Suite in a combined workshop/lecture format. A range of teaching methods will be utilised to include, but not limited to, lectures, practical workshops and the use of VLE. Technical concepts and professional practices will be understood through formal lectures with audio visual support, tutor demonstrations, in-class practical tasks and assignments. Tutor and student led discussion, supported by independent study and group research, will provide a platform for exploring key concepts. Classes will be delivered by expert tutors, and, where appropriate, enhanced at strategic points in the academic calendar by guest lectures, co-delivered by expert industry practitioners, offering students a beneficial insight into real-world application of module content. Students will have the opportunity to both give and receive critical peer feedback to enhance their learning experience collaboratively.
The virtual learning environment (VLE) will act as a central hub where students can access course content, receive and offer peer feedback on their work, review class work through quizzes, and stay informed of important news related to the module.
Individual tutorials, available to all students, form an integral part of the module enabling focussed teaching and learning around key topics.
