<p><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:ArialMT">Admissions are now open at Brown University for fully-funded Ph.D.’s in the Music and
Multimedia Composition program. We encourage applicants from a wide range of diverse
influences and methods to apply. Students in the program will produce, analyze, and perform
original works that may include the use of electronic music, acoustic composition and sound in
combination with video, performance, installation and text. They will conduct advanced inquiry
into the cultural, theoretical, technical, and aesthetic issues surrounding music and multimedia
production in close collaboration with faculty researchers strongly invested in real-time,
interactive sonic and visual media, sound art, instrument design and acoustic composition. In
addition to faculty mentorship, students can collaborate with a broad array of visiting artists and
professional performing ensembles presented on the Brown University campus.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:ArialMT">The graduate program in Music and Multimedia Composition offers an array of resources
unique to Brown. Students have access to the department’s Multimedia and Electronic Music
Experiments (MEME) studios, and the university’s Granoff Center for the Creative Arts. These
specialized research facilities house recording studios, electronics shops, project studios,
exhibition and performance spaces. Regular opportunities exist to interface with the larger arts
and digital media communities at Brown, at the nearby Rhode Island School of Design, in
Providence and the New England region. Music and Multimedia Composition students also
partake in the many scholarly offerings of the Musicology and Ethnomusicology Ph.D. program,
with faculty specialties in technoculture, sound studies, copyright, improvisation and timbre. A
Brown doctoral degree in Music and Multimedia Composition leads to a career in college and
university teaching, or to a position in applied research and creative work outside of higher
education.
