UK - The University of Portsmouth is responding to diversification in the music industry by developing a course in computational sound. The new MSc Creative and Computational Sound degree meets the growing demand for 'sound specialists' who may go on to produce sound for mobiles, computers, telephones, multimedia sound tracks and the entertainment industry.

Liz Dobson, senior lecturer in the Department of Creative Technologies said: "Students will develop skills for programming sound synthesis, creating interactive sound systems and devising sound and audio systems for a wide range of applications such as computing audio, installation sound, computer games and film. In addition they will be able to conduct their own research into sound by joining the University's new Son-X research group."

The launch of the course has led to significant investment in computing resources, recording studios, and a new Foley/Multi-Media studio.
