Digital Music: Platforms, Content and AI is an interdisciplinary course focusing on the business, cultural context, and scientific nature of the [inter]relationship between music and media. The course blends theoretical perspectives designed to problematise our relationships with digital music formats, production, consumption and dissemination, with practical workshops for producing content for online music and media platforms. Such is the evolutionary nature of music in the digital age that the issues and problems addressed in this course will vary from year to year. Course content may include: a short history of music and digitisation; intellectual property, copyright, and ethics; massively collaborative online music production and distribution; case study analyses of music for gaming, music 'apps' and crowd funding for music projects; digital audiovisual curation techniques; and, the role of music as content on platforms, and the recent technological ruptures such as Artificial Intelligence.

## Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

1. understand the ethical implications of music, digitisation and media dissemination via a demonstrated critical understanding of intellectual property;
2. design and realise a presentation on an appropriate topic suitable for public dissemination;
3. produce a digital media project incorporating audio, visual, and interactive elements; and
4. research, critically analyse, and debate current issues/problems surrounding music and digital media from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives.

## Work Integrated Learning
