Tulane's Music Science and Technology Minor Curriculum allows students to explore intersections between music, engineering, production, and computer programming with a focus on the creative applications of technology applied to music making. The program encourages creativity both in technical research and in composition for various media and performance. Objectives include developing innovative approaches to the scientific and artistic study of music composition, performance, and media, undertaking multidisciplinary research relevant to the creation and perception of music, and fostering an interdisciplinary culture between members of the fine arts, engineering, and science communities on campus.
In addition to pursuing composition and performance projects our students refine their understanding in areas such as music signal processing, sound synthesis and analysis, music performance systems design, music perception, and psychoacoustics. Our expanding computer music composition facilities include a dedicated teaching laboratory with eight student computer workstations and an 8-channel surround sound digital studio.
