If you have interests and the creative skills to work within a cross-section of the arts and sciences, the Master of Music program in composition with a concentration in interdisciplinary digital media is designed for you. Program offerings extend beyond typical music coursework to allow more opportunities for digital sound and experimental media projects, and allow you to be actively involved in current developments in the field of media and digital culture. There are state-of-the-art media facilities, hybrid arts-engineering faculty and courses in electronic music with relevant resources. You're encouraged to develop your own compositional voice and focus on your area of interest, regardless of style or aesthetics, while gaining extensive knowledge through coursework and private lessons with the composition faculty. You have multiple performance opportunities each year, including collaborations with student performers; readings by the ASU Symphony Orchestra and visiting ensembles; yearlong residencies with the ASU Wind Ensembles and Philharmonia Orchestra; commissions for the PRISMS Contemporary Music Festival; and collaborations with student animators, filmmakers and dancers.
