Learning Goals
Acquire essential operative knowledge capture, editing, production and sound post-production. To
investigate and analyse types of artistic production, which are between the visual arts and music.
Knowing the features and characteristics of the different digital sound formats and know how to use them
properly depending on the intended purposes.
Learn to deal with various analog and digital sound devices and their different possibilities of connectivity and
communication.
Know how to use the possibilities of sound in artistic expressions of different types (video, installation,
performance).
