In the process of conceptualising and realising this performance, music designers work together with other artists as well as experts for marketing and product acoustics in various sectors such as brand communication, product development, architecture, multimedia installation, motion picture, interactive application and mobile content. Music designers create sound using the elements (composed) music, speech, noise and are able to analyze as well as evaluate their product aesthetically and psychoacoustically.</div><div style="margin: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 13px; font-size: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 14px;" class=""><span style="text-decoration: underline ; font-kerning: none" class="">Target audience</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 14px;" class="">The Musikdesign course is for creative minds with sound in their blood, craving to be different from mere interpreters: be it graduates, career changers, music whizzs, composers, sound designers, DJs, sound artists, media designers or scenographers.
