With four briefs per student, the pieces have explored different worlds, ideas and individuals. Train stations, pokies, households and commission housing have all been among the unique settings implored by students. The sounds used to portray these locations have been inventive and insightful. The studio has enabled access to a range of equipment, that depending on the student’s confidence, have reached professional levels. Many softwares have been used to produce these works, most notably ProTools and Reaper (for which several tutorials have been conducted for). While the technical skills in the class vary from person to person, the development and confidence displayed in each piece’s progression is evident.
