Part 1 Linking to the topics covered in the lecture series, students should compose a portfolio of composition(s) with a total duration of 10 minutes that explore ideas and techniques around experimental music and sound. The musical work can be presented as recorded work, installation, performance, written score, or any other means that can be justified through the context of the music.

Part 2 Students will support compositions through referencing and contextualizing their work amongst notable composers across the historic development of their chosen field. This should be presented through an accompanying 750 word critical report that details the techniques used, the intentions of the composer, which work has influenced the composition(s).
