In the first of our Music Computing Mixtape series, we present tracks from first year students’ portfolios – all made before they started at Goldsmiths.
“Welcome to the first week of the rest of your lives” is how Dr Freida Abtan welcomed a new cohort of students onto Goldsmiths’ BMus/BSc Music Computing programme.
Music Computing Mixtape #1 (aka Welcome to the first week of the rest of your lives) features tracks that students made during their first week at Goldsmiths. All pieces were made from the same set of recordings of a sound walk taken across the Millennium Bridge in London.
Over the next three years, these students will be immersed in performance, composition, musicology, design, psychoacoustics, digital signal processing and computer science – and we’ll be listening to the results.
