Course Description

This course will
explore theoretical and practical aspects of sound design in a wide range of
film and media, particularly focusing on new media, such as games and
interactive platforms.

By
the end of the course, students will:

  • be able to acquire a wide range of practical and technical possibilities in sound
    design;

    processing techniques;
