Course Overview - Sound (Swansea College of Art) MA
Sound is an area of growing social, cultural and environmental importance, yet it is often overlooked and underappreciated in our overwhelmingly visual, screen-based society. It has great emotional power for communication through storytelling, music, and more subtle and evocative forms.
This masters programme focuses upon the whole spectrum of sound as a social phenomenon in theory and practice, from listening, generating and recording to its potential for transforming our experiences, environments, lives and cultures.
