Creative Music Practice (Research)

The PhD in Creative Music Practice is an opportunity for you to pursue practice-led research in the field of music at the highest level.

This will involve research that combines textual and musical outputs, for example:

• composition

• performance (either of original or pre-existing repertoire)

• installation

• sound design

• interactive music software

Typical applicants to this programme include:

• composer-theorists who wish to carry out research into and practice of particular compositional models

• performers who wish to deepen their practice through musicological research

• computer-music composers who wish to develop documented hardware/software systems for their music

• performers with a need to study the techniques and organology of period instruments

• instrument builders/researchers seeking historical techniques found in evidence from the original instruments
