[microsound] study programmes on soundart & music technology in europe

[Pablo Sanz Almoguera <info@xxxxxxxxx>]

HELLO list,

I´m currently pursuing to start a study programme on sonic arts / music 
technology, in Europe/UK.  my interests on sound are both technical and 
conceptual with a focus on sound art, more than in the music industry, 
you know. Also i´m interested in the relationships of sound with other 
mediums like electronic image, installations, etc.

I live in Madrid (Spain) and i´ve been mainly self-taught up to this 
moment in these matters, altough i´ve a 2 years superior grade as sound 
technician here in spain and i´ve taken workshops and diverse courses on 
sound and video too during the last three years. also i have some 
regular activity as vj at this moment too.  Since i don´t have 
university level formation, i think i cannot get oficial access to the 
most of post-graduate programs (very common in some universities on 
sonic or media arts)... for that reason i think a bachelor program could 
be the correct choice in my case.

I´ve a bit of information (via web) of some interesting programmes at 
the University of Edimburgh and the Sonic Arts Centre in Belfast, but 
the cost of living in the UK plus the fees of this programs seems to be 
not affordable for me, at least with the information i have read.

The Institute of Sonology in The Hague (Netherlands) seems to be more 
affordable (1500eu / year, with a cost of living of 500-700eu per 
month... and some "possible" government helping if you stay there for 
some years) and i´m seriously considering going the next year to make 
the one year Sonology Course. Also, the contents of their programs (very 
detailed on their web) are one of the most interesting i´ve seen for now.

Since i´m looking for a more complete and long formation, i would like 
to enrol after that course in the 4 years bachelor degree there.... but 
i´m not sure about this possible decision since the bachelor  it´s in 
dutch language (i´m still trying to improve my english, so thinking in 
taking classes about DSP in dutch it´s "a bit" hard for me at this 
moment as you can imagine)   ... also, i´ve some info about high 
requirements there for the bachelor students (i think each year only 4-8 
students finish it)...

Well... i would like to get all kind of info, practical or about the 
studies themselves, about any of these choices (maybe any of you are 
involed in any of them). Also i would like to know about other 
programmes that you could consider interesting for me....

you can respond offline if you prefer to pablo[at]20020[dot]org

THANKS a lot in advance
