Multimedia Creation

Multimedia creationis taught at the Department of Composition and Multimedia Creation. This multidisciplinary department prepares future artists for a wide range of applications from traditional contemporary composition to stage and electronic music to multimedia, and teaches them to work with performers, conductors, choral directors, opera directors, and audio engineers.

The study uses the cooperation of four faculties: Faculty of Music and Theatre of the Janáček Academy of Performing Arts in Brno, Faculty of Fine Arts of Brno University of Technology and Faculty of Arts of Masaryk University Brno. Each offers a specific set of courses for teaching this field.

Performance, happening, sonic object, interactive installation, art on the Internet, interactive video projection, but also opera, dance performance, video clip, experimental documentary or computer game and many others. The only condition is the use of multiple, meaningful and irreplaceable complementary media within a single work.

As part of its teaching, JAMU offers work with state-of-the-art equipment that is suitable for both demonstrative teaching and experimentation. These include, for example, the conversion of visual, haptic and other parameters into sound, the realization of graphic scores, research and further use of microinterval tuning, interactive electronic systems, the use of multichannel reproduction for the creation of fully spatial sound or the compositional incorporation of recordings of sounds and ambient noise – the so-called. Students can also cooperate with the National Theatre Brno, the TIC Gallery, the Brno House of Arts, the Moravian Gallery and other institutions (including foreign ones, such as the Institute of Sonology in Den Haag, the Netherlands) and have the opportunity to try out working in their own recording studios.

And what else can the department provide?

• Two state-of-the-art studios for electroacoustic music production
• Professional recording studio
• Fully equipped theatre
• Chamber Hall
• Interactive technology
• Multichannel audio systems
• Plenty of professional software and hardware

Active artists with independent creative activity in the field of freelance authorship or also in the field of stage and film music, computer games, museum exhibitions or realizations in public space come out of the multimedia creation studio. They will find employment in various production teams for artistic operations and creative industries, including applied arts and other areas of cultural events in the Czech Republic and abroad.

What will the graduates of the Multimedia Production specialization at JAMU in Brno be after graduation?

• authors of works of musical, sound or multimedia character,
• composers of so-called stage and film music,
• authors of digital applications or environments for specific areas of audio,
