Through this course students with a special interest area within the field of new technology for musical expression can perform studies that have been individually defined for the specific student to fit his/her interests. Course contents and examination will be individually defined for each student. Students interested in taking the course are asked to contact first the person in charge of the corresponding specialization or some other researcher and then the person in charge of this course.
Within the course, students with a special interest in new technology for musical expression may read an individually designed course in their own field of interest. Both course content and assessment are designed individually for each student. The student should first turn to the person responsible for current specialization or other researcher and thereafter to the course coordinator.
There is no teaching in the course.
The course's main goal is to give the student possibility to deeper studies in a field of interest in the broad research domain that partly is documented by the NIME conference series http://nime.org.
The student should on completion of the course be able to implement a practical/theoretical project within technology for musical expression and report the result of this. This implies to be able to:
A selection of research publications depending on course content.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Since this is an individually designed course, the examination formats vary.
Student may not include more than 20 credits in the Individual study plan, resulting from the sum of credits from this course and from one of the courses âindividual course in music and sound processing".
