Introduction

The Master of Arts in Scoring for Film, TV and Interactive Media is a full-time, one-year master’s degree offered by Pulse College in association with Griffith College. The course has been designed to nurture the development of strong, individual creative artists ready to contribute stand-out original music in the visual media space. The degree is delivered at Pulse College’s Windmill Lane Recording Studios campus in the heart of Dublin, Ireland’s vibrant capital. The past decade has seen a growth in digital media production, including streaming video content, and interactive media. Today’s digital media production companies require flexible, creative music departments, capable of working to short deadlines with limited resources. The MA aims to train diversely skilled, self-reliant composers ready to operate dynamically as self-employed entrepreneurs within this fluid sector. The programme is built upon a wide base of instruction in key skills – including compositional practices, digital audio techniques, legal know-how, and client communication skills. This foundation is enhanced by an emphasis on theory/analysis and critical engagement, and all is ultimately in the service of the development of the learner’s individual compositional voice. Learners benefit from the expertise of a focussed core team and complimentary guest tutors. Pulse College is a hub for excellence in the field of music technology and production – learners benefit from a wealth of knowledge accumulated over a quarter-century of experience in industry and education. Furthermore, learner-centric tuition and mentorship address composition for visual media as both craft and art practice. The facilities available at Pulse College’s Windmill Lane Studios campus are unrivalled in Ireland and rank among the finest in Europe. Clients have included some of the best-known names in the music industry – including U2, Kate Bush, The Cranberries, and Lady Gaga. Numerous film scores have been recorded in Studio 1, including The Talented Mr Ripley, Mission: Impossible, and Disney’s new feature Disenchanted. Learners will have the opportunity to have several of their compositions recorded by professional musicians across a range of ensemble sizes and types, from small and medium mixed groups up to a full studio orchestra. These sessions offer important experience in the world of large professional studios, and these recordings can form the beginnings of the learner’s professional portfolio.
