Available only to Radio Production, Popular Music Creative Media, and Journalism students

This module explores the idea that there are a variety of 'radios' that include audio/radio art, montage, and soundscapes. It encourages innovation, experimentation and creativity.

From exploring audio portraits, through soundscapes to examining radio montage, this module expands your understanding of the radio aesthetic and encourages you to integrate theory and practice in a critical way. In doing so, your understanding of radio will move beyond the more obvious commercial, community or public service models, and the aesthetic forms and genres that serve them, into understanding radio's imaginative/creative potential.

A student passing this module should be able to:

1) Develop and deliver a short, innovative and experimental radio/audio montage.

2) Critically evaluate the radio art form.

3) Integrate theory and practice and critically reflect upon their own production in written work

4) Integrate theory and practice in the recording, selection and editing of audio material for a rhetorical/emotive effect
