This course enables students to master the various IT tools and interfaces required for sound and music creation in order to :

• facilitate the relationship between performers, particularly when interacting with the computer music director;
• enable the performer to use digital tools independently in the context of electroacoustic and mixed music.

As soon as they start the Artist Diploma - Interpretation Creation course, students are assigned to work on productions related to the course and are placed under the pedagogical and artistic authority of the referent teacher.

Participation in productions is compulsory.
